## Getting Started

Currently this action only works via retrieving your collection/environment through [Postman's API](https://docs.api.getpostman.com/?version=latest). The API docs contain endpoints that will allow you to retrieve these IDs. Therefore you'll need to pass:
This action supports multiple ways of retrieving your Postman collections/environments.

- Your [Postman API key](https://docs.api.getpostman.com/?version=latest#authentication)
- The collection ID
- The environment ID
### Local files
If you've exported your collection and/or environment to your repo, provide the relative path to where the file sits in your repo (default: `postman_collection.json` / `postman_environment.json`).

```
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: matt-ball/newman-action@master
with:
collection: postman_collection.json
environment: postman_environment.json
```

### Via URL
If you're collection and/or environment is sitting at a URL accessible to your GitHub action, you can include that directly.

```
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: matt-ball/newman-action@master
with:
collection: https://example.com/postman/collection.json
environment: https://example.com/postman/environment.json
```

### Via Postman API
The latest version of your collection and/or environment is available through [Postman's API](https://docs.api.getpostman.com/?version=latest). The API docs contain endpoints that will allow you to retrieve the required IDs. Passing these IDs along with your Postman API key will run Newman in this method. See [Creating and using secrets](https://help.github.com/en/articles/virtual-environments-for-github-actions#creating-and-using-secrets-encrypted-variables) for how to add your Postman API to GitHub securely.

```
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: matt-ball/newman-action@master
with:
postmanApiKey: ${{ secrets.postmanApiKey }}
collection: 5922408-c22ef764-b464-424c-8702-750343478723
environment: 5922408-228c7edd-fc15-4f68-9665-a35d7df6945b
