This is very clear and to the point mocha tutorial i ever see, Thanks a lot @pragrmatic review

[fartywood]

I have an honest question. If it is so easy to test API calls using JS, why do we need tools like Postman? What are the advantages of such a a tool?
Thanks for this excellent video.

Hi Sir, Thanks for the video, I was looking for the tutorial of node.js based API unit testing using mocha & chai, however I got but not that much easy way you have done it. Thanks to save my life

[MuhammedShamnad-rjry]

This will create some test data in the database right. We should do a mock instead of calling actual API

[parveenmaurya]

thank you ..that's really helpful

[racmathafidz]

[sivachandra]

Hi.., can u explain that how to use assert using API

[vamoos_carajoo]

good job! but how can i stop running mocha test ???

[tinchoeluru]

Everything worked fine, thank you. A question, how would you run tests for PUT or DELETE methods for random generated IDs?

[iranamiriyeva]

Thank You for the video. All websites currently use token and APIs cannot be used without that. How to request Api with bearer token?

[chandu]

Hi, this is great thing by you. I have a question that, how we can do authentication of APIs?, using jwt for the running api collection.

[dipakraut]

if we have used MongoDB as a Database, then will these steps will work, or for the Database, we have to add more conditions to get work.

Me vino genial. Muy buen canal, muchas gracias!
