How to learn API automation?

I’d follow the following steps:

1)

Don’t start with instaling an API automation tool

2)

Do NOT START with installing an API automation tool, learn what are API’s first then think about tools.

3)

Understanding how APIs / the HTTP request / response works. Lots of tutorials out there.

A video covering the basics linked in the comments.

4)

Test some sample APIs with POSTMAN.

That would give you an idea of how API calls are constructed and some common responses

You can try using this website as a sample:

5)

Look into learning RestAssured.

There are a bunch of courses out there on it. It can work in parallel with Selenium.

All you need to do is just add the Maven dependency –

P.S.
I’m using RestAssured with spring Boots!
