API Testing with Python, by Carlos Kidman

In this Test Automation University course, we cover how to consume an API for automation and automated testing using:

• python
• pytest
• requests
• pydantic

Prerequisites

I will be using VS Code as my IDE, but you are welcome to use any IDE you want, like PyCharm.

💡 If you want to follow along exactly with Carlos's setup, then watch this YouTube video to set up your machine for Python Development

Otherwise, you need to have:

• python installed on your machine (version ^3.7)
• understanding of how to use Virtual Environments and install packages
• basic programming fundamentals (variables, functions, etc.)

Setup

1. Clone the Project (switch to setup branch for beginning in Chapter 4)

2. Create a virtual environment for this project

   • If you are following along with Carlos's setup and using Poetry, this is already handled for you - skip this step

3. Install the required packages

pip install -r requirements.txt

# or

poetry install

You're all set!
