How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the APIs to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (greater than or equal to 200 and less than 300) and the extraction of the "urlVar" variable from the response URL.
Execute request
The execute section of the template defines the type of request to be executed, which is "single" in this case. It also specifies the requests to be made, where the "modify_url" action is performed on the URLs generated from the "urlPaths" word list.
Validation
The validation section sets the criteria for validating the response of the executed request. It checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains specific strings, such as "parameters:", "database_user", and "database_password". If these conditions are met, the validation is considered successful.
