Manual testing of GiroIdent

GiroIdent provides an “executable” service documentation, i.e. the services can be called manually directly from the documentation. The GiroIdent Sandbox services can be found at https://giroident-sandbox.finapi.io/swagger-ui.htmlPlease contact the finAPI support at support@finapi.io for detailed information.

Instead of using the service UI, a web service tool like Postman can be used to call the services manually.
