Constructing the request

Now, using Postman, we are going to construct a request and fire it to the Google Cloud Vision API. Click on New and then Request inside Postman. Fill in the form as applicable. I have created a new collection named Cloud Vision API and placed this request inside that. You can import that collection into your Postman as well. This file is available in the Chapter 3\API\Postman folder.
