Let's explore the Fake Store API Collection.
\nThis collection walks through how to send and document API requests, such as Products, Carts, Users, and Auth using Postman. It also contains simulations of errors (for example, 400 Bad Request and 404 Not Found), and how it responds.
\nThis API collection does not require authentication.
\nGo to FakeStoreAPI and click Read Docs
Scroll down to the Products section in the sidebar.
There, click and copy the GET /products example endpoint https://fakestoreapi.com/products to send a GET request.
Send a GET request in Postman
Open Collections > Blank Collection > Add Request
In the request, paste the endpoint from GET /products and send the request using GET to retrieve all available products
Retrieve All Products, Create a New product, and Update a Product
\nGet All Carts and Add a New Cart
\nReturns All Users and Add a New User
\nAuthenticating a User
\nError handling and its html response (400 and 404)
This collection is a part of a user-friendly API writer portfolio project. Enjoy exploring and learning!
