# Test your API

After the deployment has completed, you'll see a modal with useful commands to test your API. For the following commands, replace `your api path` and `your api key` with your API path and the API key. 

Create a new post:

 `curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \`\
`-H "API-TOKEN: your api key" \`\
`-d "{ \"Property\": \"value\"}" \`\
`https://console.hatchapps.com/api/your_api_path/endpoint`\
 

Here's an example:

 `curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \`\
`-H "API-TOKEN: 26818869033657110" \`\
`-d "{ \"name\": \"testname\"}" \`\
`https://console.hatchapps.com/api/hatchappsapi/posts`\
 

We also provide a no-code way to test your API with our API Tester. 

That's it! You have successfully built and deployed your first API with Hatch Apps API Builder and created your first object.
