How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API endpoint to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the URL as a variable called "urlVar".
Execute request
The execute section defines the type of request to be executed, which is a single request in this case. It also specifies the modifications to be made to the URL by appending "/.circleci/config.yml" and enabling follow redirects.
Validation
The validation section defines the criteria for validating the response received from the API endpoint. It checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains both the strings "version" and "jobs".
