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

# What are `HTTP` headers?

The client and the server can pass some additional information using `HTTP` headers through a *request* or a *response*.

An `HTTP` header is basically a key-value, where its key is a case-insensitive string and value is a single or array of string. 

# Types of `HTTP` headers

These are grouped into different categories below, based on their context:

* **General headers**: this is used for both request and response and there is no relation to the message data.

* **Request headers**: these are client headers, sent during the `HTTP` *request* and they contain information about the resource to be fetched.

* **Response headers**: these are server headers and are part of the `HTTP` *response*. They give more details about the server resource context. 

* **Entity headers**: these headers give meta-information about the content of the body of the message like `MIME` type, `Content-length`, etc.

To learn more about various `HTTP` headers options, please go [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers).



In this lesson, we will learn about the HTTP header and its types.
