Introduction

Scripted APIs allow you to monitor your APIs by writing scripts that simulate API requests and responses. You can use the IDE-style script editor to write scripts that make API requests, validate responses, and ensure specific elements are present.

API tests are powered by the node-fetch module, which is available through the $http object. The $http object provides a way to make HTTP requests and interact with the response. You can use the $http object to make GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and other types of requests.

Result timing and har details will be provided as long as you use the $http object.
