REST API Tutorial - Manual Testing of APIs using Postman

Manual API Testing using Postman Reliable API calls are critical to any decoupled application. Whether it a simple configuration change to an entity or updating the Drupal core, both of them can alter the API response and lead to application-breaking changes on the front-end. An API test suite can watch out for these API breaking changes by running a slew of tests against your endpoint. And when you need to create an API test suite, Postman delivers. Why Postman tool? Postman is a simple GUI for sending HTTP requests and viewing responses. It is built upon an extensive set of power tools, which are incredibly easy to use. Postman helps you perform a variety of functions ranging from organizing requests into collection and folders,sharing common values across requests with environment variables,scripting tests with the built-in node.js based runtime,and at last, automating it all using Postman’s very own CLI — Newman.

REST API Automation Tutorial using Postman

Automation has now become a norm across sectors, and when used in testing, it can undoubtedly improve the depth and scope of the tests. Since it is not possible to test everything manually, so using Postman automation can save our time as well as efforts. Postman is the ultimate tool for API automation. In this blog, we will be taking a look at how to achieve API automation using Postman.
Example Scenario for Automation using Postman:



Let’s say, a login API generates a Token (oAuth, JWT etc) and refreshes it every hour. The API utilizes this token to get the expected response. If we don’t automate, we will have to copy and paste this every time for each API. And for a test suite containing 100 API’s, a good amount of manual effort will go into pasting the token for each API. By introducing automation, this process of updating the newly generated taken can be automated.
Let’s automate the Login API through Postman Open Postman Application and create a collection. Then make a POST request…
