Passing an Array to the API

This document outlines a use case demonstrating how to pass an array as an argument in API requests. This functionality allows users to dynamically provide an array of data in the request body, enhancing the flexibility and reusability of API tests.

The below example illustrates how to dynamically pass an array of URLs as an argument in the request body to create a new product using API in DevAssure.

• Step 1: Define a variable urls as a code block containing an array of image URLs.

  
  let urls = ["[https://placehold.co/600x400](https://placehold.co/600x400)", "[https://placehold.co/700x400](https://placehold.co/700x400)", "[https://placehold.co/800x400](https://placehold.co/800x400)"];

• Step 2: Call the FakeStoreAPI > CreateProductV2 endpoint (POST) with the urls variable as the arrayUrls argument. Store the API response in apiResponse_5.

  2. apiResponse_5 = Call API FakeStoreAPI > CreateProductV2 ( arrayUrls : urls )
  • Request Details:
    • Method: POST
    • URL: https://api.escuelajs.co/api/v1/products/
    • Body: JSON

      {
          "title": "gvdbnvd ejhdfvehvfe ejvfjerv",
          "price": 10,
          "description": "A description",
          "categoryId": 1,
          "images": "::arrayUrls"
      }
    • Note: The ::arrayUrls placeholder in the JSON body is dynamically replaced with the array of URLs from the urls variable which is passed as an argument to the API definition
