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 the PUT method?

The `HTTP` `PUT` method will update an existing resource or create a new resource on the server, depending on the request payload.

`PUT` is *idempotent.*: This means that an outcome will remain the same even if it's called several times successively. For instance, calling the POST several times with the same request data may create a new resource each time, therefore, it is not idempotent.

Now, let's understand more what this means with the example below.

1.  Let's make a `GET` request for the given `URL` and fetch an existing record

    ```
    curl -X GET  https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
    ```

2.  Update this record's title using `PUT` request
    ```
    curl -X PUT -d '{"title":"This is an updated post"}'  https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1
    ```

* In the `PUT` request above, ( `-X` is for `HTTP Method` and `-d` for `--data`). The data is passed in the form of a `JSON` string



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