Passing Request Body as Arguments

This document outlines a use case demonstrating how to pass the entire request body as a text argument in API requests. This functionality allows users to define complex request bodies as variables and pass them dynamically, enhancing the flexibility and reusability of API tests.

The below example illustrates how to dynamically pass a JSON request body as a text argument to create a new product using API.

Step 1: Define a variable request as a code block containing the JSON request body.

const request = {
    "title": "Some random name",
    "price": 10,
    "description": "A description",
    "categoryId": 1,
    "images": [
        "[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 > CreateProductAPI endpoint (POST) with the request variable as the request body argument. Store the API response in apiResponse_1.
```
2. apiResponse_1 = Call API FakeStoreAPI > CreateProductAPI ( request : request )
```
- Request Details:
  - Method: POST
  - URL: https://api.escuelajs.co/api/v1/products/
  - Body: JSON (passed as the request variable)
Step 3: Verify that the HTTP response status code of apiResponse_1 is 201 (Created).
```
3. Verify status code of http response apiResponse_1 == 201
```
