DELETE Request
In this lesson, we will learn how to automate a DELETE request for an existing record.
HTTP DELETE
request automation
In this lesson, we will discuss deleting a record using the DELETE
request method.
Example 1 – DELETE request for a particular id
HTTP
Method: DELETE- Target URL:
http://ezifyautomationlabs.com:6565
- Resource path:
/educative-rest/students/{id}
- Take a look at the code below:

import static org.testng.Assert.assertTrue;import org.slf4j.Logger;import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;import org.testng.annotations.Test;import io.restassured.RestAssured;import io.restassured.response.Response;import com.fasterxml.jackson.annotation.JsonProperty;public class DELETERequestTest {private static Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(DELETERequestTest.class);@Testpublic void testDelete() {String url = "http://ezifyautomationlabs.com:6565/educative-rest/students";LOG.info("Step - 1 : Create a new Student [POST]");Student body = new Student("NewUser1", "DeleteUser", "Female");Response response = RestAssured.given().header("accept", "application/json").header("content-type", "application/json").body(body).post(url).andReturn();LOG.info("Created Student Record");response.getBody().prettyPrint();String id = response.getBody().jsonPath().getString("id");LOG.info("Get the created Student ID: " + id);LOG.info("Step - 2 : Delete the created record. [DELETE ]");String url1 = url + "/" + id;Response response1 = RestAssured.given().delete(url1).andReturn();LOG.info("Step - 3 : Print the response message and assert the status");LOG.info("Response Status Code: " + response1.getStatusCode());assertTrue(response1.getBody().prettyPrint().isEmpty());assertTrue(response1.getStatusCode()==204);LOG.info("Student with id: " +id+ " is deleted");}}// This POJO class will be used for serialization and deserialzation of the dataclass Student {public Student(String firstName, String lastName, String gender) {this.firstName = firstName;this.lastName = lastName;this.gender = gender;}@JsonProperty("id")Long id;@JsonProperty("first_name")String firstName;@JsonProperty("last_name")String lastName;@JsonProperty("gender")String gender;}
Let’s understand this example code.
The code above uses the TestNG
and Rest Assured
libraries for automating the HTTP
DELETE request and sends a Student ...
