Save an API call for reuse

If you plan on using an API call routinely, you can save time by creating a script to modify and run.

  • Near the top right of the API Reference page (to the left of the Try it! button), select the clipboard icon to copy the code sample, then save it locally as a text file.
  • When you use it, you'll need to get a fresh access token and update your Authorization parameter accordingly.
  • To use it, update the authorization parameter, then paste the modified script at a command line prompt and run it.
