Tips and Tricks
Click on each section below to learn more about how to perform each corresponding action. Note that you can also view API details for individual customers within their customer profile page.
If you see a result you’d like to pin on the page, simply click the pin button within the result tile. This will allow the result to stay pinned to the page even if other requests are added. Note that if you pin 3 requests, you won’t be able to search for more, as only 3 appear on screen at once time.
If you see a result you’d like to delete on the page and remove the tile, simply click the trash can button within the result tile. This will not remove the result from your request search history, but simply remove it from view on the page.
If you’d like to pull up a request from the history, simply click on the history chip of the request reference. Note that outlined history chips are the ones shown on screen.
To remove a result from the search history, you can either click the X within the result chip to remove an individual result, or click the Clear History to remove all results from the history.
If you want to share the results you searched for with another authorized user for them to look at, you can use the Share button. This will allow you to copy a URL containing these results and share them with a user to view.
