How this template works
APIs Selection
The template uses API selection filters to specify the criteria for selecting the desired API requests. In this case, it filters requests based on the response code being between 200 and 300, and the presence of a private variable context with a value greater than 0.
Execute request
The template executes a single request using the private variable extracted from the private variable context. It adds the private variable as a query parameter in the request.
Validation
The template validates the response received from the executed request. It checks that the response code is between 200 and 300, and the percentage match of the response payload is less than 80%. Additionally, it ensures that the response payload has a length greater than 0.
