Test APIs in Playwright (API in E2E test)

 Perform following steps,

1. Import {APIRequestContext} from '@playwright/test'
2. Declare a variable to get the API context
• let apiContext: APIRequestContext;
3. User before all to initialize the API context

• test.beforeAll (async ({ playwright } )=> { 

  apiContext = await playwright.request.newContext({ 

  baseURL: 'api.base.URL', 

  extraHTTPHeaders: { 

  'Accept': 'application/json', 

  'Content-Type': 'application/json', 

  } 

  }) 

  })

4. Destroy the context after all

• test.afterAll ( async ({ }) => { 

  await apiContext.dispose(); 

  })

5. Make request in test as required
• await apiContext.post('URL', {data: payLoad})
