Extension Guide

Activating the extension

The extension activates automatically once you download it (usual behaviour) and everytime you open VSCode.
Once the extension starts it should give you the following notification.

And you should be able to see the following button on your VSCode Status Bar.

If it didn't behave as usual, please reach us at support.

Getting your API endpoint

You can click on either of the "Open API Endpoint" button on the extension's activation notification or the "Active" button on the Status bar.
This will open your API Endpoint URL in the browser.
