How to Validate POST API Response in Playwright | Status Code, Body & ID Validation
Welcome back to the Playwright API Testing series!
In this video, we will learn how to validate POST API responses in Playwright.
So far in this series, we have learned:
Playwright setup and installation
GET request handling
POST request creation
PUT and DELETE requests
Basic response validation
In previous videos, we mainly validated the status code.
But in real API testing, that is not enough.

We will cover:
