Macros
The Macros tab allows you to automate your REST API use by using a macro instruction file (seeMacros Tab). This tab is useful if you want to build or run a list of commands in a specific order, or multiple times as a test. You can also use Macros to ensure that a long list of commands is executed without manual input errors, saving time.

If you are unsuccessful, the Raw IO tab will turn red and return an error. The Formatted IO tab will fail to populate with defined values, returning an error.
