Great content tutorial bro, can you also create a cypress API framework? Thanks

Glad you enjoyed the content. Will definitely consider creating a video on it.

Hi Dilpreet amazing content, I am automating API where I have too fetch the auth code generated by AWS for this
1 step: When I hit the first API end point I get a URL to the web application, I have to access the URL and enter login details like username and password and hit submit, after validating the input AWS generates the code in the web URL in chrome ex:"d4c0xxxx-a1ae-4xe4-840d-caeb4xxx2a21"
2 step: I have to pass that code from the displayed URL to second API end point which generates the IDToken
Now how do I switch from API automation to UI for entering the login details and fetching the code responded through the web URL?
Please explain how to automate this scenario. Thank you

[@sdetunicorns]

Hi Nivedita, it depends on how the auth is setup for web app, there's probably an API for the login as well which you can hit and get the response from. If not, then find out whats the logic for auto for the web app and you can still hit it from your API tests directly by passing auth details and perhaps scraping data from the HTML content.
So it all depends on the Web App implementation, if I were you, I would start from there.

@@sdetunicorns No API for login, the response which I get from first getCODEURL API returns the login screen url, where I have to manually enter the login details and get the code generated by AWS. That code I pass on to get token API to fetch the IDToken, Refresh Token.
