Postman is an API Collaboration Platform.
Binance now offers several Postman Collections and Environments (JSON files) for a quicker and easier usage of our RESTful APIs.
You only need to import and set up with your own API and secret keys to begin.

The following practices are advised to secure your account's safety:
- Don't use Collections obtained from an unknown source.
- Review the environment JSON file before its usage.
- Don't use any code that you don't understand.
- Make sure that the withdrawal permission is not enabled for your API keys.
- When you finish trying out the API, delete your API keys.
Q: Why I can't get any response?
You haven't imported the environment file or you've imported it but haven't selected it from the dropdown menu (mentioned in [[How to import and configure]])
Q: How can I debug a request or find the used URL?
