Application programming interface (API) authentication is a cornerstone of web security, ensuring that only authorized users and applications can access protected resources. In this course, you will dive into the fundamentals of API testing and authentication techniques using Java and REST Assured. You will learn to authenticate API requests using both challenged and preemptive authentication methods. Additionally, you will explore the use of digest authentication to enhance the security of your API requests with cryptographic hashes. Next, you will discover how to authenticate to API endpoints using OAuth tokens, starting with the configuration of OAuth1 and then advancing to the industry standard OAuth2 for authorization. Finally, you will apply these authentication techniques in practical scenarios, setting up tests with credentials and generating random usernames to mimic real-user interactions. This hands-on approach will solidify your understanding of API authentication and prepare you for comprehensive end-to-end testing.
