30 Days of API Testing Day 5: Publicly Available APIs to Practice API Testing

Hello Everyone- I am participating in 30 days of API testing by myself for the month of December. I am going to post my Day-5 as instructed. I found this API to practice API testing on called www.mockapi.io It looks cool. You can create your own project with API prefixes. It will require sometime to learn the product. I am sure it shouldnโ€™t be that difficult to learn.
I had no idea there are sites you can practice API testing on. This is amazing. I also recently started a blog if you guys would like to visit the blog it is www.shirinbashar.com

Iโ€™ve just seen this posted today by @alan which could be useful for folks picking up this challenge later :slight_smile:

Finding an API that you can actually use for your tests is not an easy task.

I for one try to search and make a video about a nice API at least once a month.

For those who are not sure what API to use have a look at the below link, it contains about 100 APIs from different sections ( from animal to Start Wars ) :slight_smile:

Request:

{"id":"5ac32b1761d533000f42c537","created_at":"2018-04-03T07:19:51.439Z","tags":["facecat"],"url":"/cat/5ac32b1761d533000f42c537"}

Here we are :grinning::

There are so many resources on the Internet. You can even find multiple APIs related to cats. Check them out.
Other cat-related APIs and resources to learn API and have fun
