You're certainly welcome to make handcrafted, artisanal requests to the Equinix Metal API, though that'll take quite a bit of time (and is error-prone). Using an API tool like Postman will allow you to see what's possible, and to quickly make error-free requests. In this guide we'll cover downloading, installing, and configuring Postman to use the Equinix Metal API, then making requests and visualizing the responses. Visit this guide to learn more about using Postman to explore the Equinix Metal APIs.
