How to perform API testing?

API testing involves sending requests to APIs and verifying the responses returned by the API against the expected outcomes. To perform API testing, testers use tools such as Postman or SoapUI to send different types of requests (such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to the API endpoints. Testers should also verify the response status codes, data formats (such as JSON or XML), and data integrity. Additionally, testers can automate API testing using tools like Selenium or cURL to increase efficiency and coverage. Regularly conducting API testing ensures that the API functions correctly and meets the requirements of the application it supports.
