Testing API Requests with an API Client

API Client tools allow developers, Product Managers, and AI agents to test and analyze how APIs communicate with backend systems. In this topic, we will learn how to send API requests using different methods such as GET and POST, provide JSON request bodies, and analyze the returned response data.

You will learn how API URLs define the target service, how request and response bodies work, and how JSON data moves between client and backend. The topic also explains response status codes such as 200, 201, 400, 404, and 500, which help identify whether an API request was successful or failed.
