Once you have your access and authentication provisioned by the RxWare technical team, many methods are available to call the RxWare API. Still, for this discussion, we will focus on two of the most common methods: Postman and Curl.
Postman
If you’re not uncomfortable with using a command line (Curl) to transmit API calls, this is where the Postman application comes in handy.
