About Try it

Learn how to effectively use the Try it feature in the Charges API documentation.

Use the Try it feature to send test request examples to the API endpoints directly from the developer portal and depending on the selected environment either see static, pre-built responses or dynamic responses from a test property.

Request

Using the UI, toggle between Edit and Preview tabs to see the values applied to the path or query placeholders (if there are any). You can also click on any unresolved placeholders to add a value or edit an existing placeholder value.

The portal loads the default request body. Where the specification supports multiple request body examples (for example: Rooms API POST endpoint), you can choose a different request body from the drop-down list.

Some helpful pointers before running a request:

  • Authentication (when using live endpoint): Configure your authentication headers

    • API Key or OAuth token as required. Use the Environments tab.
    • Make sure to manage separate machine accounts for test vs. properties in production.
    • Ensure credentials match your selected environment.
  • Parameters: Fill in required parameters

    • Path parameters (like propertyId)
    • Query parameters (like language_code)
    • Request body for POST/PUT operations
  • Execute: Click Send to send the request

    • The request is sent to the selected environment
    • When sending requests to the live endpoint, real HTTP request is made to the API
