How can I automate API tests using Python?

How can I automate API tests using Python?

You can use libraries like requests for making API calls and unittest or pytest for structuring your tests.

Can you show me a simple example of an API test?

Sure! Here's a basic example using requests and unittest:

import requests
import unittest

class TestAPI(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_get_users(self):
        response = requests.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users')
        self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 200)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    unittest.main()

What if I want to test a POST request?

You can modify the test to use requests.post. Here's an example:

def test_create_user(self):
    response = requests.post('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users', json={'name': 'John'})
    self.assertEqual(response.status_code, 201)

Are there any tools to help with API testing?

Yes, tools like Postman and Swagger can help you design and test APIs, and you can also integrate them with your Python tests.
