Access Crate with postman through REST API?

Question

Can postman be used to access CrateIO through the REST API ? How is the syntax different from the curl syntax.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible to use Postman to invoke POST requests against the /_sql HTTP endpoint of Crate.IO, there is no difference in the syntax.

Simply use POST as the request method, and the URL of the Crate instance. Select raw POST body and specify the JSON as if you would write it with curl. The JSON requires at least the stmt property which contains the SQL statement that should be executed on the server.
