If there are multiple iterations of a single API call, each with different parameters, it makes sense to use a PostMan collection to automate those calls.

The undelete command is: POST https://uth.test.instructure.com/api/v1/sections/26959/enrollments?enrollment[user_id]=5227&enrollment[enrollment_state]=active But the enrollments we want to undelete (by user id) are: 5227, 10564, 106, 10697, 12375, 12715, 1305, 1307, 1327, 1441 Step 1: Create a data file (csv) that looks like this: userid 5227 10564 106 10697 12375 12715 1305 1307 1327 1441 Step 2: Move the POST command to its own folder in PostMan. It will be the sole API call in that folder/collection Step 3: Modify the POST command to: POST https://uth.test.instructure.com/api/v1/sections/26959/enrollments?enrollment[user_id]={{userid}}&enr...
