How to learn API automation?<\/p>\n
I’d follow the following steps:<\/p>\n
1)<\/p>\n
Don’t start with instaling an API automation tool<\/p>\n
2)<\/p>\n
Do NOT START with installing an API automation tool, learn what are API’s first then think about tools.<\/p>\n
3)<\/p>\n
Understanding how APIs \/ the HTTP request \/ response works. Lots of tutorials out there.<\/p>\n
A video covering the basics linked in the comments.<\/p>\n
4)<\/p>\n
Test some sample APIs with POSTMAN.<\/p>\n
That would give you an idea of how API calls are constructed and some common responses<\/p>\n
You can try using this website as a sample:
\nhttps:\/\/jsonplaceholder.typicode.com\/<\/p>\n
5)<\/p>\n
Look into learning RestAssured.<\/p>\n
There are a bunch of courses out there on it. It can work in parallel with Selenium.<\/p>\n
All you need to do is just add the Maven dependency –<\/p>\n
P.S.
\nI’m using RestAssured with spring Boots!<\/p>\n
