Assignments Set-Up

There is a git repository that contains the assets you need to perform the assignments. Download the repository from the 📦 menu and extract the archive to a location on your computer. Each assignment will start with the instructions to use the repository’s content.

To use Postman to perform requests with gRPC, you need to import the API definition for the endpoint you’ll be posting messages to.

Download the .proto file for the Zeebe Gateway and save it to your computer. This file contains the interface specification with the methods and messages and by Zeebe. The current version of the file can be found at this location: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/camunda-cloud/zeebe/develop/gateway-protocol/src/main/proto/gateway.proto

Go into Postman and add the APIs section to the workspace sidebar if it’s not already there

Now select the APIs section. At the top left, the ➕ button allows you to create a new API. Name it Zeebe Gateway.

In the sidebar, select the three dots that appear when hovering the API and select the Add definition  Import Files option. Select the downloaded gateway.proto file and Postman will import its contents into a new Definition subsection and list the gateway.proto in that section.

That’s it for the Postman preparations; we’ll use the definition later on. For now, just go back to the Collections section in the workspace sidebar and leave Postman open.

That’s all for the set up. Let’s go!
