How does Bearer token and CSRF authentication work in API testing?▼

Bearer token and CSRF authentication in API testing work by seeding CSRF tokens and applying Bearer tokens to secure HTTP requests against live endpoints, ensuring authorized and validated test execution.

What do I need to run live server endpoint testing for API sequences?▼

To run live server endpoint testing, you need a running live dev server and the ability to handle HTTP requests and responses, alongside Python dependencies like `requests` and `requests_toolbelt`.

Can I generate a test report for HTTP API integration tests?▼

Yes, you can generate a test report for HTTP API integration tests. The testing process executes API sequences with assertions and automatically produces a tabular test report of the results.

What is the best way to test changed endpoints on a dev server?▼
