Katalon Studio is an easy-to-use automation tool for testing APIs, web, and mobile applications. It helps both beginners and experts perform tests quickly.

Setting Up API Test in Katalon Studio

  • Download and Install Katalon Studio: Get it from Katalon.
  • Create a New Project: Open Katalon, create a new API project.

Example 1: Simple GET Request

import com.kms.katalon.core.webservice.keyword.WSBuiltInKeywords as WS

def response = WS.sendRequest(findTestObject('API Requests/GetPostsRequest'))
WS.verifyResponseStatusCode(response, 200)
WS.verifyElementPropertyValue(response, 'title', 'sunt aut facere repellat')
