The way you explain is awesome. We can see and hear your explanation which make easy to understand and to remember as well. Thank you so much!

[@babyravella1046]

This is best video on youtube on api testing interview questions. You explanation is awesome. Anyone can crack interviews easily.

[@tomprakashsingh7052]

@18.50 , I feel it's wrong , even a get call can also have a request body. A request which does not have a request body as called a head call and an api call which has payload also is called get call.

[@ivsonali9017]

I am learning a lots from your KZbin and Udemy videos ,such a wonderful instructor you are, as I am from non it background and clearing my doubts from all of your s videos.

[@sangeethapatil958]

Thank you so much Rahul. This has be very useful for my interview and you have great teaching skills.

[@BiswajitSamalOdisha]

Q-13: Can we use POST request instead of PUT to create a resource ? Your answer is Wrong. We can not. While post we do not require to specific about the index or on which resource we have to do a update operation where are in POST a new resource gets created with ID auto-generated. Requesting you to modify the answer on video 26:41

[@PallaviReddy-w5p]

This is best video on youtube for api testing interview questions. Your explanation is awesome

[@ashwinilamture3735]

Hello Rahul, This video is very useful for me as well as all.

[@oleaccent6732]

The interviewer may also ask you about tokens, types of tokens (SWT, SAML, JWT). Besides, he may ask you to define the JSON structure format. It looks like a 'key value' structure type. And REST is not a protocol. It's is a software architectural style.

[@Shaitanmaddy]

perfect :)

[@bossbaby.anaisha]

Hello Rahul, I have completed your entire course on Udemy. It was a great course and helped me learn the topic in depth. But, I did not find Digest authentication in the course. Could you pls explain the concept of digest authentication with an example?

[@ashutoshpandey5416]

Digest Authentication is advance version of Basic auth, Username and password that is passed to the server are in encrypted form.

[@Pooja-hs5pz]

Hello, Rahul Great I have enrolled in your course a few days back getting interested in API more. Q. Will the interviewer asks to write a code also? If giving an automation interview. Like for selenium interviews they ask.

Excellent video sir...Its very clear and useful for the interview preparations. Please post some videos for POSTMAN as well.

[@mahendranadig9376]

Thank you Rahul for the quick guide. It will be definitely helpful.

[@ankitshrivastava1772]

If we use POST instead of PUT then it will create a new record then my intention was to update the existing data, now how POST was used in place of PUT.

[@kuldipchincholkar3347]

POST we can not use as a PUT. If server allows and that id is not present in the DB then only PUT create new record. Otherwise PUT is used to update the existing record.

[@riddhi123456]

I was asked a question in interview - "In Rest assured, how to handle async APIs?" Please help me with the answer.

[@status-ls8bi]

[@taiwoalimi2873]

Hello Rahu, I really love your talent and the way you teaches. Please do you have any video for CONFLUENCE training?

[@harshadityabhadouria6809]

Hello Rahul, I hope you are doing great, just want to give few suggestion to you like if you really invest time to create such video for benefit for the student then at least you should reply there doubt I have been try to in touch with you for many of my query for the respective training of yours, being paid student of your it's very hard to connect you than what about others. Please think a bit as you're in the industry where word mouth publicity from a student is very much needed.

[@anandgadad6646]

Thank you Rahul

[@anuroop7450]

Thank you

[@fusionedbits6117]

Not sure if i am correct but as per my understanding POST & PUT are different POST will create a new entry to db, where PUT will update existing entry from db with new fields or passed information.

[@amitclick99]

POST is super set of all the method except get..you can use both post and put to update..means you can use post for creating and to update also but cannot use put for creating.. anyways it depends how developer used this if he used post to update as well then we can use post..but developer cannot use put for creating

Hello Rahul, I have taken up you Rest Assured API training in Udemy. It is very helpful. The way you have started with Rest Assured and extended it to Cucumber is very good. Since serenity BDD is good in reporting part, Do you have any plans to add up API testing with Serenity + Cucumber ?

Do you have attended any Rest API interview yet? just wanted to know is that Udemy course enough to crack interview.

Two months back I purchased, Rahul Shetty's QA Automation course on Udemy and it is here uploaded for free to watch. This is not fair. The Udemy course should also be made free and money should be refunded to those who bought after these videos were uploaded.
