What are collections

A collection is a set of pre-configured HTTP requests organized by resource. Instead of building each request from scratch — URL, method, headers, body — you import the file and have all the Timely.ai endpoints ready to run. Collections are useful for:

Quick testing

Validate an endpoint in seconds, without having to write integration code yet.

Production debugging

Reproduce a call with the exact parameters to isolate API errors.

Living documentation

Share a file with your team that both describes and executes all endpoints.

Smoke tests

Run the collection after each deploy to verify that critical endpoints are still responding.

Available options

We offer two collections with identical endpoint coverage. Choose the tool that already fits your workflow:

Postman

Free cloud tool, popular with teams. Visual interface, execution history, support for environments and pre-request scripts.

Bruno

Open-source, git-friendly alternative. .bru files are plain text — you version your requests alongside your project code.

Requirements before you start

Before importing any collection, you need:
1

API Key

Access the Timely.ai dashboard under Settings → API Keys and generate a key. Copy it and store it somewhere safe — it won’t be shown again.
2

Workspace configured

Confirm that your workspace is active and that the API key belongs to the correct workspace. All endpoints are scoped by workspace.
3

Tool installed

Download Postman or Bruno depending on your preference.

Collections are updated alongside the API. If you notice missing endpoints or different parameters, download the latest version of the file.

Authentication in collections

All Timely.ai endpoints use header-based authentication:
x-api-key: YOUR_KEY_HERE
Both collections already include this header configured via an environment variable. You only need to fill in the value of the api_key variable in the environment. The guide for each tool shows exactly how to do this.
