An introduction to Rest Assured a REST API Abstraction Layer, usable from Java. All the code is contained in the 'libraryexamples' project on github. You'll learn how to include REST-Assured in your Java Maven project and see simple examples of making GET requests on the Star Wars API public API site.

- All the code on
- REST/HTTP abstraction layer
- Add to project using Maven

Thank you so much, for the past 1 week I was struggling to do this. u saved me from giving up😊, by posting this video and giving the github link thank you thank you

[robertoguevara]

I am very excited of having found this video, this is the first try i will do on my own to learn restAssured and to learn automation for API testing.

Great introduction! It's a big plus that a few ways of dealing with returned JSON were presented.

Dear Alan!

I think your videos are very useful. Thanks :) Are you planning more videos about how to use rest-assured in practice?

[PIOTROSLAV]

Some way to test SOAP without SOAPUI would be nice.
Cheers!

[Vikram]

Thanks for explaining it nicely. Can you please create video with Cucumber integration for api testing as well ?

[bobsmall]

I have a suggestion, can you create videos or a series that applies SOLID, and TDD to building test automation, with different frameworks? Or is this not possible as TDD and SOLID would never end up with the framework because it would result in a better solution?

[emadrawashdeh]

i am a new newbie to APIs automation, so i have this question: what is the difference between automating the API testing using postman and Rest-Assured ? when i should use this and when i should use that? thank you.

[SaurabhSingh-zrtw]

Can you also please make a video using restassured and jackson object mapper to map set get methods to json.

[VGuardianOfTheGalaxy]

Please help me understand sernityrest testing and if you have a udemy link or YouTube link to all your trainings. Please suggest.

May I know how to use testng annotations in rest assured

[waheedahmed]

How can I get authorization token in rest API using rest assured? Is it possible? Currently using Postman I have to do post request to API_URL/login and I pass username and password and in return i get token see below:

Example Request:

/login
POST
Body
{
"username": "admin",
"password": "admin"
}
Return
{
"token": "1234-56789-..."
}

Can you tell me how would I do .. i tried using .parameters but it says deprecated...

Thanks for another good video Alan,
Im having problem trying to run those tests from my work machine.
I get the following message in my console:

Mar 12, 2018 3:54:21



A similar thing goes for trying to send a basic get request from postman manually. *edit* i managed to get the request working in postman by enabling the system proxy



any ideas on what i might need to change on my machine in order to get this working.


p.s everything works fine from my home machine
