# Testing REST API

You can test your custom chaincode REST APIs right from within the Spydra console. You can also test the APIs from any REST API client like Postman.

The pre-requisite is that your custom app should already be deployed on a Network.

### 1. Create an API key

* Navigate to the Network
* Go to API key page from the Side menu
* Generate an API key for the Organization
