Example API and Tests with pytest

This repository contains a simple mock API and pytest tests that demonstrate how to use fixtures to cache authentication tokens and make API requests. This pairs with the blog post over at testinglimits

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the API

To start the API locally:

source .venv/bin/activate
python api/app.py

Alternatively, you can use the vscode debug profile after configuring the python env.

Running tests

You can use the shell script run_tests_local.sh, this will start the API then run tests (which point to local) and then shuts down the server when done.
