2. Open Postman and click **Import** → **File** → Select the downloaded collection file

4. Update the collection variables with your HAWK AUTH ID and HAWK AUTH KEY that were displayed when you created your API keys
5. Set the `baseUrl` variable to either:
   - `api.sandbox.bvnk.com` for sandbox environment
   - `api.bvnk.com` for production environment
