Maven

Setup

1) Creating Maven project in Eclipse
2) We need to update pom.xml with required dependencies

Test Case 1) Weather API - Validate status code & Status line

http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city/

Request Type: GET

http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city/Hyderabad

SUCCESS RESPONSE

{

“City”: “Hyderabad”,

“Temperature”: “31.49 Degree celsius”,

“Humidity”: “62 Percent”,

“Weather Description”: “scattered clouds”,

“Wind Speed”: “3.6 Km per hour”,

“Wind Direction degree”: “270 Degree”

}

STATUS CODE : 200

Status Line: HTTP/1.1 200 OK"

Code Snippet

import org.testng.Assert;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import io.restassured.RestAssured;

import io.restassured.http.Method;

import io.restassured.response.Response;

import io.restassured.specification.RequestSpecification;

public class TC001_GET_Request {

@Test

void getweatherDetails()

{

//Specify base URI

RestAssured.baseURI="http://restapi.demoqa.com/utilities/weather/city";

//Request object

RequestSpecification httpRequest=RestAssured.given();

//Response object

Response response=httpRequest.request(Method.GET,"/Hyderabad");

//print response in console window

String responseBody=response.getBody().asString();

System.out.println("Response Body is:" +responseBody);

//status code validation

int statusCode=response.getStatusCode();

System.out.println("Status code is: "+statusCode);

Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, 200);

//status line verification

String statusLine=response.getStatusLine();

System.out.println("Status line is:"+statusLine);

Assert.assertEquals(statusLine, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

}

}

Test Case 2) Register Customer API

Request Type: POST

http://restapi.demoqa.com/customer/register

BODY

{

   “FirstName” : “value”

   “LastName” : “value”,

   “UserName” : “value”,

   “Password” : “value”,

   “Email”        : “Value”

 }

SUCCESS RESPONSE

{

“SuccessCode”: “OPERATION_SUCCESS”,

“Message”: “Operation completed successfully”

}

STATUS CODE : 201

//Response object
Response response=httpRequest.request(Method.POST,"/register");


//print response in console window

String responseBody=response.getBody().asString();
System.out.println("Response Body is:" +responseBody);

//status code validation
int statusCode=response.getStatusCode();
System.out.println("Status code is: "+statusCode);
Assert.assertEquals(statusCode, 201);

//success code validation
String successCode=response.jsonPath().get("SuccessCode");
Assert.assertEquals(successCode, "OPERATION_SUCCESS");

}

Test Case 3) Google Map API - Validating Headers

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/xml?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=1500&type=supermarket&key=AIzaSyBjGCE3VpLU4lgTqSTDmHmJ2HoELb4Jy1s

SUCCESS RESPONSE : Returns list of super markets

"Headers:
Content-Encoding →gzip
Content-Type →application/xml; charset=UTF-8
Server →scaffolding on HTTPServer2
"
