REST API from postman (noob)

Configuration
1

Hi, I’m starting with HA and I’m really lost.

I have been trying to communicate with my Alexa via Alexa media player.

alexa
alexa1219×321 13.1 KB

By calling this service, alexa plays it correctly.

Now Im trying to make this call from postman. I can make a GETrequest to the API correctly by passing my token. But I don’t know how to make the POST request to make this call,
I am trying as follows:

http://192.168.1.72:8123/api/services/notify/alexa_media_echo_dot_de_kepa
{"message": "hola kepa, que tal estas",
  "target": "Echo Dot de Kepa"
}

I have tried different ways without any success, and in reality, I don’t know if it can really be done as I am trying. Could someone help this poor noob?

Thanks!

If this is a question about using postman you should probably ask on their support forums rather than the Home Assistant forum.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

It’s not a postman problem, I don’t know how to make a Home assintant API call of this type. It does not have to be with the postman specifically, what I do not know is what parameters the HA API expects to receive.

Thanks
