💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using POST instead of GET for a simple data retrieval request.

Forgetting to put the method name in quotes.

The HTTP method for retrieving data is GET. Setting pm.request.method = 'GET' configures the request correctly.

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 201 which means resource created, not a simple success.

Using quotes around the number, which causes the test to fail.

The status code 200 means the request was successful. The test checks if the response status matches 200.

C()

D{}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Adding extra parentheses after the method call.

Trying to access .json() again after calling pm.response.json().

The pm.response.json() method returns the parsed JSON object. Adding a semicolon ; ends the statement correctly.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to assert the response body contains a property 'success' with value true.

Postman

pm.test('Response has success true', function () { pm.expect(pm.response.json().[1]).to.eql([2]); });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Asuccess

Btrue

Cfalse

Dstatus

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using string 'true' instead of boolean true.

Checking for property 'status' instead of 'success'.

The response JSON should have a property named success with the boolean value true. The test checks this condition.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to test that the response header 'Content-Type' includes 'application/json'.

Postman

pm.test('Content-Type is JSON', function () { pm.expect(pm.response.headers.get('[1]')).to.include('[2]'); pm.expect(pm.response.headers.has('[3]')).to.be.true; });

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

AContent-Type

Bapplication/json

Ccontent-type

DAccept

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using lowercase 'content-type' which may not match header name exactly.

Checking for header 'Accept' instead of 'Content-Type'.

The header name is Content-Type (case sensitive in Postman). The test checks that this header exists and includes the string application/json.
