Understand the basics of RESTful APIs and how they work
Are running the SecureAuth® Identity Platform release 21.04+ and SecureAuth Identity Store release 21.04+
The SecureAuth Identity Store supports multiple identity stores; keep this in mind as certain API requests require you to add an identity store ID.
Decide whether to work in the Postman environment or work in your own development environment
You have a choice to use the SecureAuth Identity Store API Postman environment to make changes to your identity store or make changes to your identity store by using the API in your own development environment. This document uses Postman-style syntax, for example, using double curly braces {{}} for variables.
