What problem does it solve?

REST API testing often requires boilerplate code to perform HTTP requests and validate responses. This skill exposes Robot Framework keywords that wrap RequestsLibrary to simplify API test authoring and improve reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Sessionless and session-based HTTP keywords for GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, and OPTIONS.
• Flexible request options: json, data, files, headers, params, timeout, verify, cert, proxies, and an explicit expected_status for robust validation.
• Real-world use cases include API health checks, CRUD workflows, authentication flows, and token management.
• Rich references and practical patterns are provided to accelerate API testing workstreams.

Quick Start

Create a session for your API base URL and begin sending requests with GET/POST using JSON payloads.
