Once installed launch it.Ĭlick on “SOAP” to create a new SOAP project. installation is very easy like any other normal software.

You can download and install SOAP UI Open Source from the link. In that case, you can use SOAP UI tool to know operations supported by the WSDL file and their request body and other information about APIs. Sometimes a developer will share only the WSDL file. It gives information like supported HTTP method, required headers, and expected request body.īut for Calculator APIs we do not have any documents. When you open POSTMAN, It looks like : How POSTMAN works: Select API call (GET/PUT/POST/DELETE) Set Authorization. Application provide you collection of API calls, you have to follow that collection of API callls for API testing of your application. You can see that information is given in demo SOAP APIs provided by Postman here. POSTMAN is very easy to use, but API testing is very tricky when your application is complex. Ideally, you should get an API document where the expected request body of an API will be given. Since APIs based on SOAP supports XML as a message format, we need to pass XML request body.
It may be GET also which can be confirmed from the API documentation which is provided by APIs developers. Select the HTTP method as POST as mostly SOAP APIs use POST. Enter the API Endpoint where it says, Enter request URL and select the method (action type GET, POST, etc.) for that request as shown below.

In this article, we will learn how to do simple API Testing using Postman. Copy and paste Calculator WSDL in the address bar as below. Postman is a tool that can be used for API Testing. Launch it after downloading and installing, Enter SOAP API URL in the address field of request builder section Make sure the Postman tool is installed in our system. Public SOAP APIs by Postman Steps to test SOAP APIs in Postman Launch Postman tool You should have a preferably native Postman app installed on your system.
So having knowledge of testing a SOAP API using the Postman tool will be good. But there are some traditional APIs that are based on SOAP and you may need to interact with them sometimes. Although more than 71% APIs are developed using REST and now GraphQL is also being used. We can test REST, SOAP, and GraphQL requests directly within Postman. The purpose of this post is to make you aware that the Postman tool is not only for the REST API Testing. As I wrote in this post and discussing about becoming a 10X Developer, I love tools that help me become more productive and allow me to avoid repetitive tasks.
