Workshop: Testing RESTful APIs in Python with requests
For those of you looking to gain some experience working with requests, here are all the materials from a workshop I've created and delivered multiple times to good reviews. Feel free to use, share and adapt these materials as you see fit.
Setting up your system
- Make sure you have a working Python 3 installation. Get it from here if you haven't got that already.
- Download and unzip or clone this project
- From the project root, run
pip install -r requirements.txt
to install the necessary dependencies
What API is used for the exercises?
The exercises use the Zippopotam.us API, so make sure that it's up and that you are allowed to access it.
Slides
The .pptx/.pdf/.odp file in the root folder contains all slides from the workshop. Again, feel free to use, share and adapt them to fit your own requirements.
Comments? Saying thanks?
Feel free to file an issue here or send me an email at bas@ontestautomation.com.
I'd rather have you deliver the workshop instead...
Sure, I'd love to. Again, send me an email and I'll be happy to discuss options. In house or at your conference, I'm sure we can work something out.
