# Test your API

To use the API Tester: 

1. Select your required method from the dropdown (it should say GET by default). We provide all required methods. 
2. Enter the url, api\_path, endpoint\_path & data ID. 
3. Select the Header tab to enter your API-TOKEN & AUTHORIZATION from the API Builder. 
4. Select the Body tab to enter your Form Data in order to create or update your API data. 

Note that the API Tester can be used by members for APIs built or not built with Hatch Apps.
