Web Services Actions

Introduction

As a complete scriptless automation testing platform, Qualitia helps testing RESTFul APIs. Executing API service requires few header parameters to be set before initialization of the service. Qualitia gives you provision to set all the header parameters centrally in the restgenericheaders.properties file. This makes managing all the header parameters easy at single place.

You will find this file at Qualitia installed location (%localAppData%/QualitiaWDClient > app-x.x.x > WebDriver > config).

For information about setting these parameters for executing test cases using Qualitia offline package, refer to the Configuring Generic Headers for API Actions section.

REST.Request.RemoveGenericHeaders

This action helps you skip the generic headers you set in the restgenericheaders.properties file.

Input Parameters:

Parameter Name	Parameter Description	Mandatory	Data Types
HeaderKey	Enter the header key which you want to skip from the the restgenericheaders.properties file.	Yes	String

Example:

REST.Request.RemoveGenericHeaders "Content-type"

REST.Request.ResetGenericHeaders

This action helps you reset the generic headers which you have skipped earlier in the test case. The sequence of this action must be set post REST.Request.RemoveGenericHeaders.

This action does not have any parameters.

Example:

REST.Request.ResetGenericHeaders

REST.Request.SetHeaders

This action stores key value pair of the header under specified variable (HeaderLable). Headers stored under the variable then can be used later in the test case using the HeaderLable (variable name).

You may store multiple headers using test data. This action must be used before executing API service.

Headers set using this action will override the headers set in the restgenericheaders.properties file.

Input Parameters:

Parameter Name	Parameter Description	Mandatory	Data Types
HeaderLable	Enter the variable name under which you want to store the key=value pair of the header.	Yes	String
HeaderKey	Enter the header key which you want to set for the API service to be executed.	Yes	String
HeaderValue	Enter the value for the key set above.	Yes	String

Example:

REST.Request.SetHeaders "H1" "If-Match" "a8f34"

REST.Request.SetHeaders "H2" "accept" "application/xml"

Final Output: While considering H2 as a header label, system will override the values provided (accept=application/xml) in the earlier action (REST.SetGenericHeader) while executing the API service.

REST.Request.SetQueryParameters

This action helps you set query parameters for the API service you want to execute. Query parameters you set here are applicable only for the API service you use in the step followed by this action.

You may set multiple query parameters using test data. This action must be used before executing API service.

Input Parameters:

Parameter Name	Parameter Description	Mandatory	Data Types
QueryKey	Enter the key which you want to set for the API service to be executed.	Yes	String
QueryValue	Enter the value for the key set above.	Yes	String

Example:

REST.Request.SetQueryParameters "draftId" "1031143439"

REST.Request.ClearQueryParameters

This action clears the query parameters you set earlier in the test case. If you are using more than one web service actions in a single test case, it is important to clear query parameters set earlier (if any) using this action, else, step may fail.

This action does not have any parameters.

Example:

REST.Request.ClearQueryParameters

This action can work independently or it can be used in a combination of other REST actions like REST.Request.SetGenericHeaders, REST.Request.SetHeaders, REST.Request.SetQueryParameters, REST.Auth.Basic/Digest/Bearer/JWT, based on the test case requirements.

This action supports XML or JSON application file types.

You can also store the information related to HTTP Status, HTTP REQUEST TIME, and Header into the variable and use these values to develop test case flow after executing this action.

Input Parameters:

Parameter Name	Parameter Description	Mandatory	Data Types
BaseURL	Enter the URL where you want to execute the API service.	Yes	String
BasePath	Enter the base path where you want to execute API service. You can include path in the BaseURL parameter itself. In that case, you may keep this parameter blank.	Optional	String
AuthenticationType	Enter authentication type you want to use while executing the API service. Values for this field can be either: Basic, Bearer, JWT, or Digest.

Multiple codes or code ranges can be given separated by comma (,).	Optional	String

Important Notes:

If the response file extension is XML and response is in JSON, the system converts XML response into JSON and vice versa.

To store HTML responses, ReponseFilePath should contain file path to .html file. In case the response file extension is not matching with the file format provided by the API, the system stores the response in the file without extension. You can open such files with the help of any text editor like Notepad.

If the API URL contains query parameters and you want to pass the URL through baseURL and basePath separately then you need to set all the query parameters through REST.Request.SetQueryParameters action.

For example: if the API Url is: https://petstore.swagger.io:443/v2/pet/findByStatus?status=available

Set the query parameter "status=available" through REST.Request.SetQueryParameters action and after that step, add the GET.ExecuteAPI action along with the values of baseURL and basePath parameters as follows:
baseURL: https://petstore.swagger.io:443
basePath: /v2/pet/findByStatus

Example:

REST.GET.ExecuteAPI “https://<HOST_NAME>:<PORT_NUMBER>/<REST_URL>” "ProjectMapping/OAT" "Basic" "" "False" "C:\Users\Qualitia\Request-Cust_List.xml" "200"

REST.GET.ExecuteAPI “https://<HOST_NAME>:<PORT_NUMBER>/<REST_URL>” "ProjectMapping/OAT" "Basic" "HeaderLebel" "False" "C:\Users\Qualitia\Request-Cust_List.json" "4xx"
