Automate REST API testing by using Robot Framework keywords that wrap RequestsLibrary to perform HTTP requests. It supports direct method calls and session-based interactions for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE operations.

Validate HTTP response statuses by applying an explicit expected_status mechanism in your request keywords. This structured approach ensures robust validation and clear error reporting for your API testing workflows.

Test APIs with JSON payloads and file uploads by configuring flexible request options. The keywords support json, data, files, headers, params, and authentication options for comprehensive REST API interactions.

RequestsLibrary supports session-based API authentication flows through session keywords. Create a session for your API base URL to manage tokens and handle CRUD workflows across multiple HTTP requests.

Use sessionless HTTP keywords for isolated API health checks and session-based keywords for CRUD workflows requiring token management. Both approaches support structured body payloads, headers, and query parameters.

Specify expected_status in HTTP requests to enforce structured usage and ensure robust validation. This mechanism provides clear error reporting when API responses deviate from anticipated status codes during testing.
