REST API Automation Testing from Scratch - REST Assured Java - Integrating Query Params and Path Params in a Single Test

The video tutorial explains how to use REST API with path and query parameters. It covers setting up an automation test to retrieve issue details, logging the JSON response, and filtering results using query parameters. The tutorial provides a practical explanation of the differences between path and query parameters, demonstrating how to use them effectively in API requests.

What is the primary purpose of a path parameter in a REST API?

• To filter the results

• To specify the resource being accessed

• To authenticate the user

• To log the request

Which HTTP method is used to retrieve data from a REST API?

• DELETE

• GET

• PUT

• POST

Why is authentication necessary for API requests?

• To ensure the request is from a valid user

• To increase the speed of the request

• To reduce the size of the response

• To change the request method

What is the role of logging in API testing?

• To change the request method

• To authenticate the user

• To track and display request and response details

• To filter the results

How can you limit the fields returned in an API response?

• By using a path parameter

• By using a query parameter

• By modifying the URL

• By changing the HTTP method

What is the main difference between path and query parameters?

• Path parameters are used for authentication, query parameters are not

• Path parameters are optional, query parameters are mandatory

• Path parameters specify the resource, query parameters filter the results

• Path parameters filter the results, query parameters specify the resource

In the context of the video, what does the 'fields' query parameter do?

• It logs the request details

• It specifies the HTTP method to use

• It determines which fields to return in the response

• It authenticates the API request
