# Viewing ABS reports in Postman

View the API Behavioral Security (ABS) reports in Postman.

## About this task

To view the ABS reports, complete the following steps:

## Steps

1. Download the ABS environment and ABS reports JSON files from the `API Reports Using Postman` folder on Ping Identity [download](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads/pingintelligence.html) site. These configuration files will be used by Postman.

2. [Download](https://www.getpostman.com) and install the Postman application 6.2.5 or higher.

3. In Postman, import the two Ping Identity files downloaded in step 1 by clicking the **Import** button.

4. After importing the files, click the [icon: gear, set=fa]icon in the upper-right corner.

5. In the **Manage Environments** pop-up window, click **ABS\_4.3\_Environment**.

6. In the pop-up window, configure the following values and then click **Update**:

   * **Server**: IP address of the ABS node for which the `dashboard_node` was set to `true` in the [`abs.properties`](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_abs_configuration.html) file.

   * **Port**: Port number of the ABS node.

   * **Access\_Key\_Header** and **Secret\_Key\_Header**: Use the admin user or restricted user header. A restricted user sees obfuscated value of OAuth token, cookie, and API keys. For more information of different types of user, see [ABS users for API reports](../pingintelligence_reference_guide/pingintelligence_abs_users_api_reports.html).

   * **Access\_Key** and **Secret\_Key**: The access key and secret key configured in `opt/pingidentity/mongo/abs_init.js` for either an admin or restricted user. Make sure that access key and secret key corresponds to the admin or restricted user header configured.

   * **API\_Name**: The name of the API for which you want to generate the reports.

   * **Later\_Date**: A date that is more recent in time. For example, if the query range is between March 12 and March 14, then the later date would be March 14.

   * **Earlier\_Date**: A date that is past in time. For example, if the query range is between March 12 and March 14, then the earlier date would be March 12.

7. In the main Postman window, select the report to display on the left column and then click **Send**. The ABS external REST APIs section provides detailed information on each API call and the JSON report response.
