Course Description

RESTful APIs (or simply REST API) are everywhere nowadays but at the same time they are getting more complex to get started with: different HTTP methods,, headers, cookies, dealing with file uploads or authentication with api keys, tokens, OAuth and so much more.
But before you start investing time writing code to retrieve the data the API is offering, why not test the request first to make sure everything is working as expected?
This is where the Postman App comes in! Postman allows you very quickly create a request with the required HTTP method and parameters, submit the request and easily inspect the results. Postman can help if you are developing APIs as well! I have created this course for testing engineers and well as for software developers. Postman can help you during the development of your API as well as after the API is completed, by running tests that make sure your API is still working as intended.
In the first part of the course we will start exploring the features of Postman and continue by writing API tests with the intention of integrating them in a CI server where the tests will run on a current basis.
But this is not the normal course you take part in. Because your needs may be different and because I hate leaving you wondering what to do next, the second part of the course will include user questions and answers to problems that were not yet covered in the course or that are more specific and may not interest everybody.
So lets look at what you are going to learn:
Start with simple requests and advance towards more complex scenariosLearn to deal with authentication / authorization mechanisms like Basic Auth, API Keys, or OAuth.
Start writing API testsOrganize tests in collections and share them with your teamRun API tests in Jenkins or any other CI serverYou ask, I answerSo after this course you will know how to use Postman as a pro.

By Graham Dale on 11/21/2020

Very easy to follow so far.

By Rawan on 11/21/2020

I loved the way of teaching it is easy to apply, but honestly some of the things i didn't get why would I need to do them.
but I really benefit of the course specially the part explaining the global variables,, it is actually what I needed though since I wanted to build a complete test which involve more than an api working to-gather ... (i am still at the beginning of the course but I do recommend it is great start)

By Federico G Mignone on 11/21/2020

By Bohdan Kliuka on 11/7/2020

thanks!

By Yan Dubinsky on 11/7/2020

Very high level not enough details
For example when you are talking about what can go wrong and say things such as service not available or IP / Port i=network not working, please provide where took and what to look for..in case service is not up error 503 should be there , show exemple, in second case I could even find what error must be

First tried the basic api course by Valentin, great tutor I then purchased this one.
Also will checkout his CI/CD course.

By Renata Bade on 11/7/2020

I'm learning a lot about using Postman with RESTful APIS. I have tried learning by using youtube and other resources but this course structures everything in a very logical way that provides you with the needed tools.
