RapidAPI Testing Link

To get started, navigate to Studio.

Once you have logged in to your account, you will be able to see all your APIs. You can click on one of them to add tests to or create a new API to test.

You will be prompted to choose from the following options:

Select "+ Add Step" and select the Assert Equals option.

You can build assertions from context variables. In the previous step, we set the variable a. Therefore, we can assert that API status is 200 using the expression a.status and setting the value to 200.
