Automate Coronavirus COVID19 REST API GET METHOD Tutorial Part1

1. Understanding REST & REST Assured API

REST stands for Representational State Transfer mainly uses the http protocol to exchange messages
between client and server using different methods such as GET,POST,PUT,DELETE.

Example :
COVID19 API Website Details
COVID19 API Details

Request Details::

REST API EndPoint: https://api.covid19api.com/
Method Type: GET
Request Headers:
authority: api.covid19api.com
Query Params:
https://getAllEmployees&empID=1

Response Details::

Response Code:200
Response Headers:content-type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
Response Body:{“allRoute”:{“Name”:”Get All Data”}}

2. Design Test-cases

Rest API Testcases

3. Pre-requisites for Automation REST Services:

com.jayway is a older version
io.restassured is the latest version
Eclipse
Maven project
pom.xml
io.restassured dependency groupId: io.rest-assured artifactId: rest-assured version: 4.3.0

TESTNG – validate the test results

4. Get Method example
RestAssured
