Ingesting Meters using POSTMAN

One of the easiest ways to get started with the Amberflo API is by using our Postman collection.

With Postman, you can:

Ingest metering data

Query ingested data

All within just a few minutes—no coding required.

This is an ideal approach for:

Testing the API

Exploring available endpoints

Getting a quick hands-on understanding of the metering workflow
