To get to the Explorer URL:

  1. Navigate to the Profound.js IDE

  2. On the Home ribbon, Click API Options and choose API Explorer



This will open a new browser tab with the correct URL for your system.

  • This tool will show your APIs that are enabled, documentation and allows users to try out your APIs.

  • This tool also provides other frameworks the ability to "import" these API definitions into their framework, for quick and simple integration.

  • If you have experience with Swagger UI, then this tool will be easy to pick up.



To work with an API:

  1. Use the left side to filter the collection of APIs to make it more manageable

  2. Select an API to expand it. The expanded area will show information about this API in two sections.

    • Parameters: Includes all Input parameters along with the associated documentation and validation

    • Responses: Includes the output documentation and output parameters



To try out the API:

  • Click on the Try it out button

  • Fill in the parameters (if any)

  • Press the Execute button

  • View the updated response data in the Responses section
