In software development, microservices and APIs are used for writing business logic. API testing has become an important component in the testing cycle, as it can be used to test the functionality, integration flows, load and performance.

In this course, you will learn how to perform REST and SOAP API test automation. This course covers all the required details for you to start writing API and integration tests from scratch. It will also prepare you for test automation interviews.

As part of the course, you will be able to download a sample API automation framework. You can use this for writing automation tests of modules or applications, or just extend and customize it for your own use

Learn REST and SOAP API Test Automation in Java

# What is basic authentication?

The basic authentication scheme requires the user to send the access credentials encoded in base64 or send an authorization token. `REST Assured` provides an easy way to configure and handle the credentials/token that the request requires.

The authentication is applicable to any `HTTP` Request like `GET`, `PUT`, `POST`, `DELETE`, etc.

# Example
Let's understand basic authentication better with an example code snippet:

* HTTP method: **GET**
* Target URL: `http://ezifyautomationlabs.com:6565`
* Resource path: `/educative-rest/auth/students`
* Authentication type: **Basic**


In this lesson, we will learn about handling basic authentication for a given API.
