Hey Folks,
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how to upload a file to Wia via postman. Postman is the only complete API development environment, for API developers, used by more than 5 million developers and 100000 companies worldwide. Postman makes working with APIs faster and easier by supporting developers at every stage of their workflow, and is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. With postman, you can easily test any photo based flow you may have.
if you haven't already, you'll need to have a device setup with Wia and obtain a device secret key for the device, a tutorial showing you how to complete is here.
