Query parameters are a way to pass information to an API flexibly and simply. They are added to the end of the API endpoint URL as a series of key-value pairs.  To append query params to the end of a URL, a ‘?’ Is added followed immediately by a query parameter.

Prerequisite:

1. Python is installed on the machine
2. PIP is installed on the machine
3. PyCharm or other Python Editor is installed on the machine
4. Install pytest and requests

If you need help in installing Python, please refer to this tutorial – How to Install Python on Windows 11.

If you need help in installing PyCharms, please refer to this tutorial – How to install PyCharms on Windows 11.

Below is an example of Query Param in Python

import requests

ENDPOINT = 'https://reqres.in/api/users/'


def test_verify_header():
    params = {
        'pages': 2
    }

    response = requests.get(ENDPOINT, params)
    print(response.json())

    print("Response Header", response.headers)

    #Assert status code
    assert response.status_code == 200

    # Assert Response Body
    response_body = response.json()
    assert response_body["per_page"] == 6

    assert response_body["data"][0]["id"] == 1

The output of the above program is

The tests can be run using the command line using the below command:

pytest QueryParam_test.py
