This Skill streamlines the process of testing REST APIs, making it repeatable, verifiable, and easy to integrate into CI/CD pipelines, eliminating the guesswork and manual effort of API validation.
/users endpoint by sending a POST request with specific data, asserting that the response status is 201 and that the returned user object contains the expected fields.Use the rest-api-testing skill to call the 'health.request.json' request file.

You can automate REST API testing in CI/CD by defining repeatable requests in JSON files with embedded assertions. The skill executes these file-based requests and generates test reports, ensuring reliable validation without manual effort.
The best way to make repeatable REST API requests is by defining them in JSON files. You embed assertions directly within these request files to automatically validate response statuses and payload fields during execution.
Yes, you can use Bearer token authentication and endpoint presets for API testing. The skill supports per-project configurations, allowing you to preset endpoints and tokens for consistent and authenticated request execution.
You generate API test reports by running your file-based requests through the CLI. The skill automatically creates markdown reports of your test runs, providing clear documentation for review and verifying manual API calls.
You need jq and nils-cli installed to test REST APIs with file-based requests using this skill. These dependencies provide the underlying command-line execution environment required to run the api-rest CLI and process data.
File-based API testing stores requests as JSON files rather than in a GUI, enabling version control and CI integration. This approach ensures request replayability and verifiable assertions without the overhead of heavier automation frameworks.
