API Node Overview
The API Node is the core building block for making HTTP requests in ReAPI. It is a highly configurable node that handles request composition, response handling, validation, and data extraction.
This section of the documentation is broken down into several pages, each covering a specific aspect of the API Node’s configuration.
Best Practices
- Use meaningful node names for better test readability (e.g., “Get User Details” instead of “API”).
- Set appropriate timeouts for different endpoint types.
- Validate both success and error response formats to ensure your API handles failures gracefully.
- Use context variables to pass data between API calls instead of hardcoding values.
