Rest API Testing using Python

Course details

REST stands for REpresentational State Transfer. REST is web standards based architecture and uses HTTP Protocol for data communication. 

In REST architecture, a REST Server simply provides access to resources and REST client accesses and presents the resources. Here each resource is identified by URIs/ global IDs. REST uses various representations to represent a resource like text, JSON and XML. Now a days JSON is the most popular format being used in web services.

Here in this course we are going to automate and validate API's using Python Scripting
