Parameters

Adding parameters in RESTful API Testing is the process of sending data to a server in order to receive a response. This data is usually sent in the form of a query string or as part of the URL. Parameters can be used to specify the type of data that is being requested, the format of the response, and other information that the server needs to process the request.

• Query parameters are appended to the end of the request URL, following ? and listed in key-value pairs, separated by the & symbol. Sample Syntax: ?id=1&type=new.
• Path parameters form part of the request URL and are referenced using placeholders preceded by, as in the following example: /customer/:id

Send a Query Parameter

1. Add parameterized URL path directly in the URL field, as shown below. It will automatically update key-value fields. For example, in the request,
   https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/?name=Joel&type=abcxyz@mail.com.
2. Open the Parameters and enter the key and value. Value fields can be replaced with test data types, as shown below. Enter page key field and 2 in the value field, for example.
3. When you enter your query parameters in the Parameters fields, these values will automatically update in the parameterized URL path. Enter Name in the key field and Joel in the value field; type in the key field and abcxyz@mail.com in the value field, for example.
4. Click Send to fetch the Response in real time. Set up body data, headers, and authorization as required.
