Testing JSON APIs

Testing JSON APIs is an essential part of developing any web application that communicates with external clients. APIs provide a simple and flexible way to exchange data between the server and the client. APIs are critical to ensure that the APIs work as expected before they are exposed to external users.

Unit-testing JSON APIs involves verifying that the API endpoints return the expected results for different types of input data and handling error cases. Additionally, it’s essential to ensure that the API follows industry-standard protocols and is secure against common web vulnerabilities. In this way, developers can ensure the reliability and security of the web application and minimize the risk of errors or security breaches.

Let’s go through a test suite with four tests – test_get_all_speakers, test_create_speaker, test_update_speaker, and test_delete_speaker:

import pytestimport requests
# Define the base URL for the speakers API...
