How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the API endpoints to test. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the "urlVar" from the response URL.
Execute request
The execute section defines the type of request to be made and the modifications to be applied to the URL. In this template, a single request is made, and the URL is modified using the "urlPaths" word list, which contains the extracted "urlVar" value.
Validation
The validation section specifies the conditions that the response should meet to be considered valid. It includes checking the response code to be equal to 200, validating the response payload using a regular expression pattern, and ensuring that the response headers do not contain the text "text/html".
