Overview of APIs and Testing:- API (Application Programming Interface) allows software applications to communicate 🤝. API Testing verifies functionality, reliability, and security ✅. REST API is a web service that uses standard HTTP methods and data formats like JSON 📡. In contrast, SOAP API uses XML and is more complex 📜. Key aspects to test in APIs include functionality, performance, security, and error handling 🔍. HTTP is the protocol for data transfer, with methods like GET (retrieve) 📥, POST (create) ➕, PUT (update) 🔄, PATCH (partial update) ✏️, DELETE (remove) ❌, and OPTIONS (methods supported) ⚙️. For testing, tools like Postman, SoapUI, and JMeter are used 🛠️. In Postman, create requests, validate responses, and automate tests for efficiency 📊. #apitesting #qa
