# Data Management with API

CrossEngage provides direct API access to your data stored on the CrossEngage Platform. This method is faster than Uploading a JSON for a few records, as it has the benefit of recieving responses from the API in Real-time.

To test the CrossEngage API, you can use an API Client Application such as Postman or Insomnia. You can learn more about Postman [here](https://learning.postman.com/docs/getting-started/introduction/).

For using the API, please see our [API Documentation](https://api.documentation.crossengage.io/).

### API Collections

You can download our API Collection as a file, and import it in Insomnia or Postman to start using the API directly:

{% file src="/files/e8Y7R7JgjeI4VAnqheMU" %}

Additionally, you can find API calls for the Product Feed in this collection:

{% file src="/files/w9lrKREDbb5zgmMfpCgS" %}
