How can Selenium IDE be utilized for API Testing. i.e. Pushing the request to server and getting the response.
This can be done using Javascript - XMLHttpRequest Method.
Create Request, set headers & other parameters, and hit the Server with the body.
Command : Execute Script
Target :
var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
var url = '<URL of PAI to test>';
var method = Method to test (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE)>';
req.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/json');
req.open(method, url, false);
req.send(<{REQUEST BODY}>);
Value : <Any variable name to store response>

In JScript I need to read a list of books from a web server that has a 2-step authentication i.e. user + password and token afterwards - once you call an IP address you get a token in response which needs to be used in a header for books (Authorization; Bearer + token). Server is supposed to respond with a paginated list of books
[{"book_Id": 1,"book_Name": "AAA","book_Year": 2021}].
Path is "GET /book", parameters are: "Page" and "Size". I've managed to call the server and get token in reponse:
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://XX.XX.XX.XX:XXXX/authenticate?username=XXX&password=XXX", false);
xmlhttp.send();
var token = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText).token
and tried to use it
var header = xmlhttp.SetRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+token)
new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Popup(header.responseText)
but got empty response and got stuck. I'd very much appreciate being moved on with how to read the list.
Edit
So I've added new object and now get status 404 error Not Found. Is there some error in the coding yet?
var xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
xmlhttp.open("GET", "http://XX.XX.XX.XX:XXXX/authenticate?
username=XXX&password=XXX", false);
xmlhttp.send();
var token = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText).token
var xmlhttp2 = new ActiveXObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1");
xmlhttp2.open("GET", "http://XX.XX.XX.XX:XXXX/book?limit=1", false);
xmlhttp2.SetRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+token)
xmlhttp2.send();
new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Popup(xmlhttp2.responseText)
I am trying to string a few Postman requests together for testing.
In the first request I set a global variable as a test script.
tests['Status code is 200'] = (responseCode.code === 200);
if (responseCode.code === 200) {
try {
let jwt = responseBody.replace(/"/g, '');
pm.globals.set("jwt", jwt);
console.log("Variable will be set to", jwt);
}
catch(e) {
console.log(e);
}
}
In the second request I run a pre-request script as
let jwt = pm.globals.get("jwt");
Then I try to pass it into the header
Is it possible to pass a value into the header when running tests in the runner?
When running tests in the Runner the second request fails due to having an invalid jwt, and the Postman docs only show examples passing variables into the URL.
It's covered in postman auth.
Authenticate to get the JWT(oken) - Token API request
Add the test in to capture the token
var jsonData = JSON.parse(responseBody);
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("jwt", jsonData.token);
Authorization > Type > Bearer Token
Token: {{jwt}}
Setup your Environment
Select the Environment
Select Keep variable values from the Collection Runner dialog (if you are running it in command line)

I'm trying to create a REST API from a SOAP Service using IBM API Connect 5. I have followed all the steps described in this guide (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSFS6T/com.ibm.apic.apionprem.doc/tutorial_apionprem_expose_SOAP.html).
So, after dragging the web service block from palette, ensuring the correctness of endpoint and publishing the API, I have tried to call the API from the browser. Unfortunately, the API return the following message:
<errorResponse>
<httpCode>500</httpCode>
<httpMessage>Internal Server Error</httpMessage>
<moreInformation>Error attempting to read the urlopen response
data</moreInformation>
</errorResponse>
To testing purpose, I have logged the request and I have tried the request on SOAPUI. The service return the response correctly.
What is the problem?
In my case, the problem was in the backend charset (Content-Type: text/xml;charset=iso-8859-1).
For example, backend returns text/xml in German (or French). Api Connect cannot process character ΓΌ. It needs Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8.
I had a similar issue, in my case was the accept. if you have an Invoke and the content-type or the accept, is not matching the one of the request, or the response that you got, APIC is getting mad.
Please, check if the formats to send (contentType) and receive (accept) are the same of that your API expected. In my case the error occurs because the API returns a String and my default code is configured to receive a JSON body.
//define a JSON-PLAIN TEXT protocol
private HttpEntity<String> httpEntityWithBody(Object objToParse){
HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
headers.set("Authorization", "Bearer " + "xxx token xxx");
headers.set("Accept", MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN_VALUE);
headers.setContentType(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON);
Gson gson = new GsonBuilder().create();
String json = gson.toJson(objToParse);
HttpEntity<String> httpEntity = new HttpEntity<String>(json, headers);
return httpEntity;
}
//calling the API to APIC...
ParameterizedTypeReference<String> responseType = new
ParameterizedTypeReference<String>(){};
ResponseEntity<String> result =
rest.exchange(builder.buildAndExpand(urlParams).toUri(), HttpMethod.PUT, httpEntityWithBody(myDTO), responseType);
String statusCode = result.getStatusCodeValue();
String message = result.getBody();
Just finished breakfast and already hit a snag. I'm trying to call the salesforce REST api from my google sheets. I've written a working script locally in python, but converting it into JS, something went wrong:
function authenticateSF(){
var url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
var options = {
grant_type:'password',
client_id:'XXXXXXXXXXX',
client_secret:'111111111111',
username:'ITSME#smee.com',
password:'smee'
};
var results = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
Here is the error response:
Request failed for https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token
returned code 400. Truncated server response:
{"error_description":"grant type not
supported","error":"unsupported_grant_type"} (use muteHttpExceptions
option to examine full response) (line 12, file "Code")
Mind you, these exact parameters work fine in my local python script (putting the key values inside quotations).
Here are the relevant docs:
Google Script: Connecting to external API's
Salesforce: REST API guide
Thank you all!
Google's UrlFetchApp object automatically defaults to a GET request. To authenticate, you have to explicitly set in the options the method "post":
function authenticateSF(){
var url = 'https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token';
var payload = {
'grant_type':'password',
'client_id':'XXXXXXXXXXX',
'client_secret':'111111111111',
'username':'ITSME#smee.com',
'password':'smee'
};
var options = {
'method':'post',
'payload':payload
};
var results = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, options);
}
I got a href from Website by inspect it, and I would like to send http request to update the value. But unfortunately the value isn't updated. And response text is the login page.
The href as below.
<a href="SystemTeam.do?formPostType=Update&ID=001&toggle=false">
My JScript as below.
var baseURL =
"https://xx.xx.xx.xx/admin/SystemTeam.do?formPostType=Update&ID=001&toggle=true";
var xmlHttpRequest = new ActiveXObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0");
//Ignore SSL error.
xmlHttpRequest.setOption(2,13056);
xmlHttpRequest.open("GET", baseURL, false);
//Set login user authorization
xmlHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Basic XXXXX");
xmlHttpRequest.send();
Could anyone give some suggestions?
