In this tutorial, found at training.saucelabs.com/apiTesting/ you will use the Sauce Labs API Testing platform to create variables, also known as Global Parameters in an API Test. These variables can be used to make it easier to recreate and run tests in different cases and situations, in this case replacing the domain, protocol, and endpoint in a GET call to make it easier to run tests against different environments.

In this tutorial, found at training.saucelabs.com/apiTesting/ you will use the Sauce Labs API Testing platform to create a simple API test with a GET request, using basic authentication. Once you have set up you basic test, you will replace the values for the tunnel owner (a username) and the tunnel ID using imput sets. By using input sets, you can run the same API test serveral times for different sets of tunnel owners & tinnel IDs without having to rewrite test logic.

In this tutorial, found at training.saucelabs.com/apiTesting/ you will use the Sauce Labs API Testing platform to create code snippets and use them across tests in the same project. You will also learn how to create variables and snippets in your vault that can be used in tests across different API testing projects. Run tests with a Sauce Labs account at app.saucelabs.com/api-testing.
