Adding your APIs

First, let's add the API that you want to test. Click on "Create API" on the top right corner of the page. It will then allow you to specify the name of the API, as well as add the API's definition in the form of an OpenAPI document or Postman Collection. Adding the API definition will make test creation easier.

There are 3 test ways to create a test for your API:

  • Automatic Test Generation: The automatic test generator infers API properties and creates tests based on the properties. After generating a test, you can further refine the test using the visual editor or the code editor.

  • The Visual Editor (Drag-and-Drop): The visual editor lets you build test flows using RapidAPI Testing's drag-and-drop interface.

  • The Code Editor: The code editor enables you to write or edit the test code directly.
