It has been long time I have worked on API Testing, after learning from API Testing Dojo (year 2015).

Goal

Execute some simple API calls using as many tools as possible!

Objectives

  1. Send a GET and POST request
  2. Gain exposure to many API testing tools

Exercise

Choose an API testing tool such as API Fortress, Postman, SoapUI , Paw or perhaps a different one.

Complete the GET and POST call on a test API.


Example

Using https://automationintesting.online created by Mark Winteringham and Richard, do the following:
{
 "username": "admin",
 "password": "password"
}

Share

Post your experiences with the tools you use below.
If you used a different API post the calls you did so others can try them.


Experiences

I have used API Fortress tool for the first time. 
It has lots of features in it. 

GET Method:

POST Method:


Paw Tool : This is available for Mac OS. Will try out this tool in future challenges.
