determinedTester's Journey

  API Testing journey   I've been working on learning API testing for quite some time. I was only aware of the acronym API, which stands for application programming interface, until 2022. I started my search on Google because I wanted to learn more than that.  I Completed the following courses on various education platforms: 1. Coursera — Postman - Intro to APIs (without coding) 2. Coursera — Start Your API Testing Journey With Postman Tool 3. Udemy —  REST APIs with Postman for Absolute Beginners 4.  MOT - https://github.com/g33klady/TodoApiSample/tree/main/Resources . https://github.com/g33klady/TodoApiSample 5. LinkedIn Learning — API Testing Foundations 6. Test Automation university: https://testautomationu.applitools.com/exploring-service-apis-through-test-automation / 7. Test Automation university: https://testautomationu.applitools.com/python-api-testing /    Postman was discussed as a tool for API testing in the first three cour...

It involves HTTP header-based communication between the client and the server, with the server requesting the user's credentials for authentication.

This token should be sent in the header of the client's subsequent calls .This token will shortly expire; in such circumstances, a new token must be generated. Application using Bearer token: The Contact List App is a small program that Kristin Jackvony created for testing. The APIs for this application authenticate users using bearer tokens. API documentation can be found https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/4012288/TzK2bEa8 I started by exploring the app's functionality , making a list of prosp...
