Havva Yes, both PUT and PATCH are used to update resources via APIs, but they differ in their approach: 1. PUT: - Replaces the entire resource with the new data - Requires sending the complete payload - Example: Updating all user details 2. PATCH: - Partially updates the resource - Only the fields provided in the request are updated - Example: Updating just the user's email ### Execution: Yes, you send them in a similar way (same HTTP methods), but the request body differs: - PUT: Complete data - PATCH: Partial data
Samved Yes, if you follow this along with hands-on you should be able to tackle postman interview questions. Also can check more Postman lectures here - automationstepbystep.com/
Is it possible to have different envs for the same collection? And to be able to use variables from them in one collection run? This is needed to group the variables in an understandable manner and for easier maintenance.
Slobodan 1. **Create Environments**: Go to **Environments** in Postman and create different environments (e.g., `Dev`, `QA`, `Prod`). 2. **Add Variables**: Define variables (e.g., `base_url`, `api_key`) in each environment. 3. **Use Variables**: In your collection, use variables like `{{base_url}}`. 4. **Run Collection**: In **Collection Runner**, select the desired environment. Variables from that environment will be used. This allows you to manage different environments and variables in one collection -
Shubh To check if the JSON response is static or dynamic, you can use the following methods: Static JSON Response A static JSON response is one that remains the same for every request. To check if the response is static: Send the same request multiple times. Compare the responses to see if they are identical. If the responses are identical, it's likely a static response. Dynamic JSON Response A dynamic JSON response is one that changes based on certain conditions, such as input parameters or user data. To check if the response is dynamic: Send the same request with different input parameters (e.g., different query parameters or request bodies). Compare the responses to see if they are different. If the responses are different, it's likely a dynamic response. Example: Let's say you're testing a API endpoint that returns a list of users. You send a GET request to example.com/users and receive the following JSON response: [ { "id": 1, "name": "John Doe" }, { "id": 2, "name": "Jane Doe" } ] To check if the response is static or dynamic, you can try the following: Send the same request multiple times and compare the responses. If they are identical, it's likely a static response. Send the request with different query parameters, such as example.com/users?sort=name. If the response changes, it's likely a dynamic response.
Hello Sir, can you please make a playlist for beginners , which video we should follow step wise? Like first we should know manual testing then we should know jira, java script, postman. Etc. I want start my career in testing. What should I do i know before give any interview?

After using POST Method for creating / adding new data, then I ran GET request but I didn't find newly added test data, it says 404 Not found. Weirdly when tried to update using PUT ,it worked. Why is it it not displaying using GET request?
In case you are using the demo apis like reqres.in, the data does not get created on the server when you run Post, so you may not get that data when you run GET. In case you are using some other REAL APIs Here’s why the GET request is not showing the new data and how to fix it: ### Possible Reasons: 1. Data Not Persisted: The POST method might not be saving the data to the server/database. 2. Wrong Endpoint for GET: The GET request might be pointing to an incorrect URL or resource. 3. Caching Issue: The server might not be refreshing the data immediately. 4. Different Environments: POST and GET might be hitting different servers or environments. 5. POST Response Not Correct: The POST request may succeed but not actually create the resource. ---
Hello @RaghavPal, I am an old developer and I missed the tablets and phones as devices to be used in a REST API environment, basically stuck on Windows. i would like to migrate my windows clients to Android using REST API, but still keeping my database as I have now (basically a Ms-access db). I know is to the subject of the video you created, but I though you may point me in the correct direction. Thank you beforehand If you can read this
Alright, let's try to craft a basic roadmap to help you migrate your Windows clients to Android using REST APIs while keeping your existing MS Access database Core Idea: You'll essentially be building a bridge between your Android app and your MS Access database. The Android app will send requests (like "get this data" or "update that record") to your REST API, and the API will handle talking to your database and sending the appropriate responses back to the app. Basic Steps: Set up a REST API Server: You'll need a server-side environment to host your API. Consider options like: Node.js with Express.js (popular and relatively easy to learn) Python with Flask or Django .NET Core Web API (if you're comfortable with C#) Even PHP can work if you're familiar with it This server will receive requests from your Android app, process them, interact with your MS Access database, and send back the results. Connect your API to the MS Access Database: You'll need a way for your server-side code to talk to your MS Access database. Libraries like node-adodb (for Node.js) or pyodbc (for Python) can help establish this connection Design your API Endpoints: Think about the types of operations your Android app will need to perform (e.g., fetching customer data, adding new orders, updating inventory). Create API endpoints (URLs) for each of these operations. For example: GET /customers to fetch a list of customers POST /orders to add a new order PUT /inventory/{id} to update inventory for a specific item Build your Android App: Use Android Studio and either Java or Kotlin to develop your app. Utilize libraries like Retrofit or Volley to make HTTP requests to your REST API. Handle the responses from the API and display the data in your app's user interface Example (Using Node.js with Express.js and node-adodb): JavaScript const express = require('express'); const ADODB = require('node-adodb'); const app = express(); const connection = ADODB.open('Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=your_database.accdb;'); app.get('/customers', async (req, res) => { try { const result = await connection.query('SELECT * FROM Customers'); res.json(result); } catch (error) { res.status(500).json({ error: error.message }); } }); // ... other endpoints app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server listening on port 3000')); Use code with caution. Important Considerations: Security: Make sure to implement proper security measures to protect your API and database from unauthorized access. Error Handling: Include robust error handling in both your API and Android app to gracefully handle any issues that might arise Testing: Thoroughly test your API and Android app to ensure everything works as expected Remember: This is a simplified overview. The actual implementation will involve more details and complexities. Break down the process into smaller, manageable tasks. Don't hesitate to seek help from online resources or communities. Let me know if you have any specific questions or would like more elaboration on any of the steps -

Please tell how to check json response is normal or dynamic.
Shubh
To check if the JSON response is static or dynamic, you can use the following methods:
Static JSON Response
A static JSON response is one that remains the same for every request. To check if the response is static:
Send the same request multiple times.
Compare the responses to see if they are identical.
If the responses are identical, it's likely a static response.
Dynamic JSON Response
A dynamic JSON response is one that changes based on certain conditions, such as input parameters or user data. To check if the response is dynamic:
Send the same request with different input parameters (e.g., different query parameters or request bodies).
Compare the responses to see if they are different.
If the responses are different, it's likely a dynamic response.
Example:
Let's say you're testing a API endpoint that returns a list of users. You send a GET request to example.com/users and receive the following JSON response:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "John Doe"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Jane Doe"
}
]
To check if the response is static or dynamic, you can try the following:
Send the same request multiple times and compare the responses. If they are identical, it's likely a static response.
Send the request with different query parameters, such as example.com/users?sort=name. If the response changes, it's likely a dynamic response.

Basic Steps:
Set up a REST API Server:
You'll need a server-side environment to host your API. Consider options like:
Node.js with Express.js (popular and relatively easy to learn)

.NET Core Web API (if you're comfortable with C#)

Connect your API to the MS Access Database:
You'll need a way for your server-side code to talk to your MS Access database.

Create API endpoints (URLs) for each of these operations.
For example:
GET /customers to fetch a list of customers

PUT /inventory/{id} to update inventory for a specific item
Build your Android App:
Use Android Studio and either Java or Kotlin to develop your app.
Utilize libraries like Retrofit or Volley to make HTTP requests to your REST API.
Handle the responses from the API and display the data in your app's user interface
Example (Using Node.js with Express.js and node-adodb):
JavaScript
const express = require('express');
const ADODB = require('node-adodb');
const app = express();
const connection = ADODB.open('Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=your_database.accdb;');
app.get('/customers', async (req, res) => {
try {
const result = await connection.query('SELECT * FROM Customers');
res.json(result);
} catch (error) {
res.status(500).json({ error: error.message });
}
});
// ... other endpoints
app.listen(3000, () => console.log('Server listening on port 3000'));
Use code with caution.
