Monika,

Selenium doesn't have anything to do with invoking APIs. Its a library/toolset that can be used to interact with a website through a web browser.

Depending on the client binding flavor [ Java/DOT NET/Python/NodeJS ] you are better off searching for API invocation in that specific client binding.

For e.g., if I were to be doing this using Java, I could start looking at Apache's HttpClient.

Thanks & Regards

Krishnan,

In my application:
1)  I have to hit API(may be need to add payload) > read the response and store the desired data from response > And use it as test data in automation script.

I have some knowledge about HTTP client, As far as my knowledge , Using HTTP  client I need to create all the methods for GET, POST, PUT .... IT will be better if i use Rest Assured, Jersey client for the same.

If you have worked on above please share some tutorial.

Thanks
Monika

Looks like you are all set for API automation :)

Have you tried the respective repositories ?

A quick google landed me here : https://github.com/rest-assured/rest-assured

This forum is specifically intended for questions on Selenium/WebDriver.

So I would request you to please help keep the intent of this forum relevant.

Thanks & Regards
