đ Ready to See Enrich Layer in Action?
If youâre new to APIsâor just new to Enrich Layerâthis step can feel like a big one. But donât worry: testing your first call is easier than you think.
Before you plug Enrich Layer into your tools or workflows, we recommend taking a moment to test things out in a safe environment. That way, you can:
Confirm everything is working correctly
Understand how credits are used
Get a feel for how responses are structured
Letâs walk through it step by step.
â What Youâll Need
To test API calls, make sure you have:
An Enrich Layer account
Your API key (get it from the Dashboard â see instructions)
A tool to make HTTP requests, such as:
cURL
A simple script using Python or JavaScript
Step-by-Step: Testing in Postman (No Code Required)
Open Postman (you can use the desktop app or web version).
Choose âNew Requestâ and set the method to GET or POST (depending on the API youâre testing).
Enter the API endpoint URL. For example:
Under the Headers tab, add:
Click Send to make the request.
If successful, youâll get a JSON response with the enriched data.
â ď¸ Keep in Mind
Credits are deducted even in test mode, as long as a valid result is returned.
If youâre testing with placeholder or low-quality input (like fake profile URLs), you may get empty or incomplete responses
), you may get empty or incomplete responses.
đĄ Example Test Use Cases
You can try:
Enriching a single known public profile
Searching for people with basic filters (e.g. job title + country)
Testing edge cases like invalid input or missing fields to see how the API responds
