Advanced API Testing with Pre-Request and After-Response Scripting

Use scripting to test, validate, and enhance API interactions. This demo highlights the power of Insomnia's pre-request and after-request scripting for building dynamic, automated API workflows.

Learn how to:

  • Programmatically manipulate requests with pre-request scripting, such as generating dynamic parameters and updating environment variables.
  • Automate response handling using after-request scripting, extracting and processing key data like customer IDs.
  • Streamline multi-step workflows by chaining requests and triggering webhooks based on API responses.

By the end of this demo, you'll have a practical understanding of how to leverage Insomnia's scripting capabilities to manage complex API workflows and improve testing efficiency.
