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 is a proxy server? 

A proxy server is an intermediary server that is virtually located between the client and the server. All the service requests are sent to the actual server via proxy servers.

# Adding proxy server settings

We can set proxy settings to a `Rest Assured` client in the following ways:

* `Rest Assured` contains static variable `proxy` which can be set with the proxy details like so:

    ```
    RestAssured.proxy = RestAssured.proxy.withHost("<proxy-host>").withPort(<proxy-port>)
    ```

    By doing this, all the requests globally using the `Rest Assured` client, will be using the same proxy settings

* We can also set a proxy for one certain request using the following code:

    ```
    RestAssured.given()
		.proxy("<proxy-host>", <proxy-port>)
		.get(...)
		.andReturn();
    ```

    By doing this, only this particular request will have the proxy settings.
