End point: Address where API is hosted on the Server.
HTTP methods which are commonly used to communicate with Rest API�s are
GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE,PATCH
GET- The GET method is used to extract information from the given server using a
given URI. While using GET request, it should only extract data and should have no
other effect on the data. No Payload/Body required
How to send input data in GET?
Ans: Using Query Parameters
POST- A POST request is used to send data to the server, for example, customer
information, file upload, etc. using HTML forms.
How to send input data in POST?
Ans: Using Form Parameters /Body Payload
PUT- Replaces all current representations of the target resource with the uploaded
content.
DELETE- Removes all current representations of the target resource given by a URI.
Resources:
Resources represent API/Collection which can be accessed from the Server
Google.com/maps
google.com/search
google.com/images
Path Parameters:
Path parameters are variable parts of a URL path. They are typically used to point
to a specific resource within a collection, such as a user identified by ID
https://www.google.com/Images/1123343
https://www.google.com/docs/1123343
https://amazon.com/orders/112
https://www.google.com/search?
q=newyork&oq=newyork&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l7.2501j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Query Parameters:
Query Parameter is used to sort/filter the resources.
Query Parameters are identified with?
https://amazon.com/orders?sort_by=2/20/2020
Headers/Cookies:
Headers represent the meta-data associated with the API request and response. In
layman terms, we were sending Additional details to API to process our request.
Example : Authorization details
End Point Request URL can be constructed as below
Base URL/resource/(Query/Path)Parameters
------------------
Maven Dependencies in POM.XMl
1. Rest assured
2. TestNG
3. Hamcrest
------------------
Rest Assured works on 3 principles
Given ---Give all the input details(base URI ,query/path parameters, header)
When ---Submit the the api( type of HTTP method(get or post update ,delete) and
resource type (End point)
Then --validate the response (assert methods, statuscode)
-------------------
Eclipse will convert json to string format which java accept. When you paste json
content in body method
-----------
Log() all() method used to give clear logs about concatenation of HTTP requests,
input and output logs
Examples:
1.given().log().all().queryParam("key", "qaclick123").header("Content-
Type","application/json")
2.then().log().all().assertThat().statusCode(200);
In the Mock response-- when development is not completed . I need to validate the
response of the API . Once the API developed will hit the real api call.
