# API Testing Examples in Service Suite

## Recommended guidance

Use API testing examples to teach repeatable Service Suite patterns: authentication, request construction, assertions, response extraction, data reuse, and error handling. Keep examples current and remove credentials or customer-specific values.

## Recommended example coverage

- GET, POST, PUT/PATCH, and DELETE requests where appropriate.
- Headers, query parameters, request bodies, and content types.
- Authentication setup using safe placeholders.
- Status-code, schema, field, and business-rule assertions.
- Response extraction for downstream scenario or service steps.

## Example hygiene

1. Use placeholder URLs, tokens, and account IDs.
2. Explain expected results and failure conditions.
3. Keep examples short enough to copy safely into a test project.
4. Validate examples after Service Suite or API changes.
