Automate API Testing with Pre-Request & Post-Response Scripts + AI | Requestly
In this video, we explore how to use Pre-request and Post-response scripts in Requestly API Client to automate API workflows and generate powerful validation tests using the AI Test Authoring Agent.
Learn how to:
Write Pre-request scripts to dynamically update environment variables
Add custom headers using packages like uuid and moment
Use Post-response scripts to validate API responses
Generate automated test cases using AI prompts
Perform JSON schema validation and advanced response checks
Enhance scripts with built-in utilities like lodash
This tutorial demonstrates a real example using the StackExchange public API to show dynamic pagination, header injection, and automated response validation.
The AI Test Authoring Agent converts natural language prompts into executable API tests, making it easier to build reliable API validations faster.
