rest api automation testing using python

REST API (Representational State Transfer Application Programming Interface) is a widely used architectural style for building web services. Automation testing of REST APIs is crucial to ensure the functionality, reliability, and performance of web applications. In this tutorial, we will explore how to perform REST API automation testing using Python and the requests library.
Before getting started, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your machine:
Create a New Python Project:
Create a new directory for your project and navigate to it in the terminal.
Install Requests Library:
Open your terminal and run the following command to install the requests library:
Create a Test Script:
Add the following code at the end of your script to run the tests:
Run your script using the following command in the terminal:
Congratulations! You have successfully set up a basic REST API automation testing framework using Python. You can further enhance this framework by incorporating additional features such as parameterization, data-driven testing, and reporting. Always refer to the documentation of the API you are testing for specific details on endpoints and request/response formats.
