What is a GET Request? The GET method is used to retrieve information from the given server using a given URI. Requests using GET should only retrieve data and should have no other effect on the data. Way to send GET Request using Rest Assured and Check Status Code: For this exercise, we will use Google Places API ( Place Search ). You can view the API at below link : Google Place Search API We will learn about the Text Search GET request of Google Places API. A Text Search request is an HTTP URL of the following form: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/textsearch/output?parameters where  output  may be either of the following values: json  (recommended) indicates output in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) xml indicates output as XML Certain parameters are required to initiate a search request. As is standard in URLs, all parameters are separated using the ampersand ( & ) character. Testing HTTP Error Codes We will verify t...

Using RequestSpecBuilder in Rest Assured ( Code Reuse )

Image
In the previous post, we studied about how to check response time using Rest Assured. In this post, we would learn about using RequestSpecBuilder in Rest Assured.  You can use the builder to construct a request specification. RequestSpecBuilder is normally used when we have common parameters, Base URI, Base Path between different tests. Let's look at an example without RequestSpecBuilder. Here we are making use of Google Search API that we studied in  Testing GET Requests and their Responses using Rest Assured . import org.testng.annotations.BeforeClass ; import org.testng.annotations.Test ; import io.restassured.RestAssured ; import io.restassured.http.ContentType ; import static io. restassured . RestAssured .*; public class GetStatusCodeTest { @BeforeClass public void setBaseUri () { RestAssured. baseURI = "https://maps.googleapis.com" ; } @Test public void test01 () { given(). param ( "query" , ...
