Hi Mukesh, Thank you for teaching us RestAssured API. You are so kindhearted by taking your precious time and teaching us for free. Be Blessed by Diving power.

Thank you so much Ramesh, your comment made my day.

[@sgstuff3981]

Thanks Mukesh, you have explained the concepts in more easy way. Sometimes in API testing ,server asked for client authentication before proceeding for actual api testing, can u pls explain how to automate it using REST Assured

[@AbhishekKumar-no8xe]

Excellent work Mukesh. I learned the selenium and now Rest API from your tutorial. Well Explained ! Have a question from what I read somewhere that REST is stateless, therefore the SERVER has no state (or session data). If there is no Session Data then how REST Client can "Cache" it and utilize it again(If triggered to same endpoint)?

[@Mukeshotwani]

Hi Abhishek good question.. When you send request to server and server process your request then you will get sessionid,cookies and other information which you can use for further calls.

[@AbhishekKumar-no8xe]

Mukesh otwani Thank you for the reply. I guess we get these details in response from the REST server. If not then whats the key difference. Correct me if I am wrong.

[@abhilashpulimamidi1742]

Hey Mukesh , thanks for making videos on REST. I’ve small doubt. What’s the difference between Rest assured and Rest using http client . And which method of approach is easy and important/useful for building a framework .

[@vittal89]

Hello Mukesh, Consider an example of Creating a User , Reading , Updating and Delete the User Information. On Creating the User , I will be getting a unique ID dynamically as a repsonse for the user which will be used for the consequent Read,Update and Delete request. My question is on having a data file with the details , I want to perform these operations in sequence by using the dynamically created response as a input value in my consecutive request for a single sequence CRUD operation and for the bulk CRUD operation. Is this possible in Rest Assured.

[@Mukeshotwani]

HI VIcky, yes it is possible with RestAssured. If you have any sample API then I can record video and send you. Approach 1- This is called api chaining where one API will pass data to another API. I have show similar example in this video.kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmmUdXaYqrVlp80

[@kushanchoudhury1942]

Hi Mukesh, Please share some more videos on Rest API.Awaiting for your latest videos eagerly.

[@asif.mammadov]

Hi Mukesh. Thank you for the video! I am very new to RestAssured and I want to use it to automate the API service I am developing. From my understanding the framework does a live testing against up and running API service. Is there a way/approach to use RestAssured testing during build time ? Similar to how JUnit tests run when you build your project using maven. If that is not the case, I was wondering how people use RestAssured in production environment. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hi, Can i know how to record a value from the response body and parameterize it to use it in next API. [Selenium ]

[@rahulhonashetty2120]

Hi Mukesh I think PUT http method also create additional load on server. Because if we want to edit some resource which is not available in server than PUT will first act as POST than act as PATCH. (i.e., It will create resource and than edit the resource) correct me if i am wrong
