API Tests

We also support executing REST API tests using Playwright scripts.

Playwright's APIRequestContext API allows performing REST operations to the specified end point.

info

If you prefer to use axios library for executing HTTP requests, refer HTTP Requests with axios for more details.

Following is an example test that executes HTTP requests and asserts the responses.

const { request } = require('playwright');
const { expect } = require('chai');

//go to https://requestbin.net/ and create a new bin

const apiRequestContext = await request.newContext({        
    baseURL: 'http://<your bin url here>', //change this url to your bin url
    extraHTTPHeaders: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    });
//GET request
const getResponse = await apiRequestContext.get('/');
expect(getResponse.status()).to.equal(200);
expect(await getResponse.text()).to.be.not.empty;

//POST request
const postResponse = await apiRequestContext.post('/', {
    data: {
        foo: 'bar',
        baz: 'qux'
    }
});
expect(postResponse.status()).to.equal(200);
expect(await postResponse.text()).to.be.not.empty;

//PUT request
const putResponse = await apiRequestContext.put('/', {
    data: {
        foo: 'bar'
    }
});
expect(putResponse.status()).to.equal(200);
expect(await putResponse.text()).to.be.not.empty;

await apiRequestContext.dispose();
