Workshop: Testing RESTful APIs in Python with requests

==================

For those of you looking to gain some experience working with [requests](https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), here are all the materials from a workshop I've created and delivered multiple times to good reviews. Feel free to use, share and adapt these materials as you see fit.

Setting up your system

---

1) Make sure you have a working Python 3 installation. Get it from [here](https://www.python.org/downloads/) if you haven't got that already.

2) Download and unzip or clone this project

3) From the project root, run `pip install -r requirements.txt` to install the necessary dependencies

What API is used for the exercises?

---

The exercises use the [Zippopotam.us API](https://api.zippopotam.us/), so make sure that it's up and that you are allowed to access it from your machine.

The same goes for the [SpaceX GraphQL API](https://spacex-production.up.railway.app/) that is used in the sixth and final series of exercises.

Slides

---

The .pptx/.pdf/.odp file in the root folder contains all slides from the workshop. Again, feel free to use, share and adapt them to fit your own requirements.

Comments? Saying thanks?

---

Feel free to file an issue here or send me an email at bas@ontestautomation.com.

I'd rather have you deliver the workshop instead...

---

Sure, I'd love to. Again, send me an email and I'll be happy to discuss options. In house or at your conference, I'm sure we can work something out.
