💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'page_size' instead of the page number field.

Using a field that does not exist in the response.

The response JSON usually contains a 'page' field indicating the current page number.

hard

Fix the error in the test script to correctly check the number of items returned per page.

pm.test('Items per page count', () => {
  const jsonData = pm.response.json();
  pm.expect(jsonData.items.length).to.eql([1]);
});

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a string '10' instead of number 10.

Using a property name instead of a number.

The expected number of items per page is a number, so use 10 without quotes.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to check if the response has the correct total pages and page size.

Postman

pm.test('Total pages and page size', () => {
  const jsonData = pm.response.json();
  pm.expect(jsonData.[1]).to.eql(5);
  pm.expect(jsonData.[2]).to.eql(10);
});

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Mixing up 'page' with 'total_pages'.

Using 'items_count' instead of 'page_size'.

'total_pages' gives the total number of pages, and 'page_size' gives the number of items per page.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to verify the current page, total items, and items array length.

Postman

pm.test('Verify pagination details', () => {
  const jsonData = pm.response.json();
  pm.expect(jsonData.[1]).to.eql(3);
  pm.expect(jsonData.[2]).to.eql(50);
  pm.expect(jsonData.[3].length).to.eql(10);
});

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

Citems

Dpage_size

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'page_size' instead of 'items' for the array.

Confusing 'total_pages' with 'total_items'.

'page' is the current page number, 'total_items' is the total number of items, and 'items' is the array of items returned.
