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 the POST method?

The `HTTP` `POST` method sends data to the server to create a new resource. 

The request body type is indicated by the `Content-Type` header field. Let's take an example to understand more about it.

Let's make a `POST` request for the given `URL`.

```
curl -iX POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{ "email": "eve.holt@reqres.in", "password": "pistol" }'  https://reqres.in/api/register
```

* In the `POST` request above, ( `-iX` is for `HTTP Method`, `-H` is short for `--header`, `-d` for `--data`). The data is passed in the form of a `JSON` string.




In this lesson, we will learn about the HTTP POST method.
