API Testing Tutorial Uses Live Mock API That Actually Persists Data

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer demonstrates API testing with Python and pytest using funapi.dev, a mock REST API that persists writes and provides isolated datasets per client. The tutorial covers nine endpoints including filtering, sorting, auth, and concurrency checks. The author notes that unlike JSONPlaceholder, this mock API returns real data after POST requests, making it more suitable for learning.

Meridian48 take
The tutorial highlights a practical gap in API testing education, but the tool itself is niche and unlikely to disrupt established testing frameworks.
