Overview

This API is used for the Web API testing. You can use it to trigger API endpoints, configure micro-services, prepare environment or the service to your e2e test.

Each Playwright browser context has associated with it ‘APIRequestContext` instance which shares cookie storage with the browser context and can be accessed via [`property: BrowserContext.request`] or [`property: Page.request`]. It is also possible to create a new APIRequestContext instance manually by calling [`method: APIRequest.newContext`].

**Cookie management**

‘APIRequestContext` returned by [`property: BrowserContext.request`] and [`property: Page.request`] shares cookie storage with the corresponding `BrowserContext`. Each API request will have `Cookie` header populated with the values from the browser context. If the API response contains `Set-Cookie` header it will automatically update `BrowserContext` cookies and requests made from the page will pick them up. This means that if you log in using this API, your e2e test will be logged in and vice versa.

If you want API requests to not interfere with the browser cookies you should create a new ‘APIRequestContext` by calling [`method: APIRequest.newContext`]. Such `APIRequestContext` object will have its own isolated cookie storage.

“‘python sync import os from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

REPO = “test-repo-1” USER = “github-username” API_TOKEN = os.getenv(“GITHUB_API_TOKEN”)

with sync_playwright() as p:

# This will launch a new browser, create a context and page. When making HTTP
# requests with the internal APIRequestContext (e.g. `context.request` or `page.request`)
# it will automatically set the cookies to the browser page and vice versa.
browser = p.chromium.launch()
context = browser.new_context(base_url="https://api.github.com")
api_request_context = context.request
page = context.new_page()

# Alternatively you can create a APIRequestContext manually without having a browser context attached:
# api_request_context = p.request.new_context(base_url="https://api.github.com")

# Create a repository.
response = api_request_context.post(
    "/user/repos",
    headers={
        "Accept": "application/vnd.github.v3+json",
        # Add GitHub personal access token.
        "Authorization": f"token {API_TOKEN}",
    },
    data={"name": REPO},
)
assert response.ok
assert response.json()["name"] == REPO

# Delete a repository.
response = api_request_context.delete(
    f"/repos/{USER}/{REPO}",
    headers={
        "Accept": "application/vnd.github.v3+json",
        # Add GitHub personal access token.
        "Authorization": f"token {API_TOKEN}",
    },
)
assert response.ok
assert await response.body() == '{"status": "ok"}'

Instance Method Details

#delete(url, data: nil, failOnStatusCode: nil, form: nil, headers: nil, ignoreHTTPSErrors: nil, maxRedirects: nil, multipart: nil, params: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Sends HTTP(S) [DELETE](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/DELETE) request and returns its response. The method will populate request cookies from the context and update context cookies from the response. The method will automatically follow redirects.

end

#dispose ⇒ Object

All responses returned by [‘method: APIRequestContext.get`] and similar methods are stored in the memory, so that you can later call [`method: APIResponse.body`]. This method discards all stored responses, and makes

‘method: APIResponse.body`

throw “Response disposed” error.

end

#fetch(urlOrRequest, data: nil, failOnStatusCode: nil, form: nil, headers: nil, ignoreHTTPSErrors: nil, maxRedirects: nil, method: nil, multipart: nil, params: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Sends HTTP(S) request and returns its response. The method will populate request cookies from the context and update context cookies from the response. The method will automatically follow redirects.

JSON objects can be passed directly to the request:

“‘python data = 

"title": "Book Title",
"body": "John Doe",

api_request_context.fetch(“example.com/api/createBook”, method=“post”, data=data) “‘

The common way to send file(s) in the body of a request is to encode it as form fields with ‘multipart/form-data` encoding. You can achieve that with Playwright API like this:

“‘python api_request_context.fetch(

"https://example.com/api/uploadScrip'",
method="post",
multipart={
  "fileField": {
    "name": "f.js",
    "mimeType": "text/javascript",
    "buffer": b"console.log(2022);",
  },
})

#get(url, data: nil, failOnStatusCode: nil, form: nil, headers: nil, ignoreHTTPSErrors: nil, maxRedirects: nil, multipart: nil, params: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Sends HTTP(S) [GET](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/GET) request and returns its response. The method will populate request cookies from the context and update context cookies from the response. The method will automatically follow redirects.

Request parameters can be configured with ‘params` option, they will be serialized into the URL search parameters:

“‘python query_params = 

"isbn": "1234",
"page": "23"

api_request_context.get(“example.com/api/getText”, params=query_params) “‘

#post(url, data: nil, failOnStatusCode: nil, form: nil, headers: nil, ignoreHTTPSErrors: nil, maxRedirects: nil, multipart: nil, params: nil, timeout: nil) ⇒ Object

Sends HTTP(S) [POST](developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods/POST) request and returns its response. The method will populate request cookies from the context and update context cookies from the response. The method will automatically follow redirects.

JSON objects can be passed directly to the request:

“‘python data = 

"title": "Book Title",
"body": "John Doe",

api_request_context.post(“example.com/api/createBook”, data=data) “‘

To send form data to the server use ‘form` option. Its value will be encoded into the request body with `application/x-www-form-urlencoded` encoding (see below how to use `multipart/form-data` form encoding to send files):

“‘python formData = 

"title": "Book Title",
"body": "John Doe",

api_request_context.post(“example.com/api/findBook”, form=formData) “‘

The common way to send file(s) in the body of a request is to upload them as form fields with ‘multipart/form-data` encoding. You can achieve that with Playwright API like this:

“‘python api_request_context.post(

"https://example.com/api/uploadScrip'",
multipart={
  "fileField": {
    "name": "f.js",
    "mimeType": "text/javascript",
    "buffer": b"console.log(2022);",
  },
})
