Course Overview
Get skilled at using Postman and Fiddler to create, call, and test REST APIs for software testing
Welcome!
This is the third course in my "QA Guide" series. Application QA Engineers are high on the list of great jobs that can earn you over $100k a year. Take the next step to achieve your maximum earning potential.
What are APIs? And how do we test them?
APIs are an extremely important part of the applications that we use everyday. There are APIs being called every time you open an app on your phone, search for products on the web, or play a song from your Alexa.
If your team is developing a mobile app or web application, there are going to be APIs involved. You need to be able to understand what APIs are, how they work, and how to test them.
Are you ready to work with APIs?
In this course you will learn everything that you need to know to get started with REST API testing.
The course starts with API basics. Here you will learn what an API is and how they work.
I will be covering several tools along the way to help you validate and format APIs so that you can quickly and easily understand the purpose and content.
You will learn some javaScript which is essential when working with REST APIs.
The bulk of the course will be through exercises. We will use Postman to generate API requests. Then we will use Postman to test the requests that we created.
Finally, we will be using Fiddler to capture, view, and manipulate API Traffic.

Unfortunately some of elements don't work anymore - numbersapi, omdb keys apparently has to be paid for, so there is no update to the course and you have to search on your own. It lacks a bit of explanation ad hoc, e.g. when something is explained, it would be nice to see how it works in real cases, to visualize it better for the student. The course includes very basic introduction though, which is good and sufficient if someone knows completely nothing about APIs and how to create requests from scratch.

I am new to this topic totally no programming background. I did not understand 100 percent but yeah I learned something at least about API and Fiddler

I would give this 5 stars the only reason im not because it was sometimes hard to see what they were doing because the screen was a little blurry and the person in the background making noise kept distracting me

For someone with no exposure to API before, the course was difficult to follow along. especially at the beginning. I did not understand how to navigate Sublime, how to open the page, how to get out of the previously open page. I navigate blindly on all the steps the instructor demonstrated, but I would have to take this course more than once to be able to work it on my own. This is more an intermediate course than a beginners' course. I would say, the best way to understand it is to install the applications as instructed and follow along.
