[@RohitVarma1978]

Hi Rahul, I would like to thank you whole heartedly as I got selected for a job after going this video on API testing. First few questions itself were good enough to crack the interview and display confidence. Once again many thanks.

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

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

[@kavyahoney4924]

[@babyravella1046]

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

[@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 :)

[@sangeethapatil958]

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

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.

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.

[@swapnildukare9255]

Have u got The study material and interview questions

[@nancybhardwaj3895]

Best questions 👍👍

[@cynthita93]

GREAT VIDEO!!! Thank you!!! :)

[@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.

[@taiwoalimi2873]

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

Hi Rahul, I have used request body in get method.

[@yogeshtomar6292]

Thank You.. Your Video Help me.

[@nicemanu8]

It was indeed useful. Thanks

[@HAN_USA]

Extremely helpful thank you

[@salinanobi3875]

thanks it helps actually .

[@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.

[@ajayhajare6917]

Yes to verify response data we need to pass json path in the body then we can verify the values

[@riddhi123456]

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

[@status-ls8bi]

We can mange using promises .

[@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

[@fusionedbits6117]
