# Viewing ABS reports in Postman

You can view API Behavioral Security (ABS) reports in Postman.

## About this task

To view the reports:

## Steps

1. Download the `ABS_5.0_Environment` and `ABS_5.0_Reports` JSON files from **API Reports Using Postman** folder on the Ping Identity [Download](https://www.pingidentity.com/en/resources/downloads.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 later.

3. In Postman, click **Import** and select the two Ping Identity files that you downloaded in step 1.

5. In the **Manage Environments** window, click **ABS\_5.0\_Environment**.

6. Configure the following values and then click **Update**.

   | Option                                             | Value                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
   | -------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | **Server**                                         | IP address of the ABS node for which the `dashboard_node` was set to `true` in the `abs.properties` 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 users, see [ABS users for API reports](pingintelligence_abs_users_api_reports.html). |
   | **Access\_Key** and **Secret\_Key**                | The access key and secret key configured in the `opt/pingidentity/mongo/abs_init.js` file for either admin or restricted user.

Make sure that the 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.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 earlier.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**.
