Playwright with TypeScript | Get Call For API Testing

API testing is crucial for ensuring the smooth functioning and overall quality of web applications that rely on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
It checks if the API delivers the correct data in the expected format when provided with valid inputs.
API Testing also involves invalid inputs to ensure the API handles errors gracefully and returns appropriate messages.


Get Call -
A GET call in an API (Application Programming Interface) is a specific type of HTTP request method used to retrieve data from a server.
When you make a GET call, you are essentially asking the server for information. The server responds by sending back the requested data in the response body.
The data format can vary depending on the API, but common formats include JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and XML (Extensible Markup Language).

Components to use -
BaseURL + Resource + Query and/or Path Params
Header (if required)

4 Ways to Provide baseURL -
With HTTP Method.
By using request context in Test block
By Using request context in with beforeAll
In Playwright.config.ts file

Assertions -

expect(resp.status()).toBe(200);
expect(resp.OK()).toBeTruthy();
expect(await resp.json()).toMatchObject({
firstname: 'Jane',
lastname: 'Doe',
totalprice: 111,
depositpaid: true,
bookingdates: { checkin: '2018-01-01', checkout: '2019-01-01' },
