Hope more videos on GraphQL API testing using Playwright

[@ChecklyHQ]

Let's see what we can do. :) Do you have any specific topics in mind?

Graphql api automation using bdd

[@tiagosutter8821]

Thanks, that is interesting, i might use Playwright to test APIs as well since i'll be already using to e2e tests. Is it using a browser under the hood while API testing though? I hope not, as i don't see the need to have a browser context for that

[@ChecklyHQ]

I'm pretty sure `request` doesn't spin up a browser. :)

Great content! Can you make video API Authentication to bypass UI login. Ty! Cheers ☺️

[@ChecklyHQ]

Let's check if I understand correctly: you would like to watch a video that shows how to login via HTTP and then pass the session data to a browser session to save time?

[@carldmitch]

@@ChecklyHQ perhaps Matko wants to see how to use global-setup where you can login and save the storageState.json, then load the storageStage before all the tests thus bypassing subsequent login flows.

[@Matkotech]

@@ChecklyHQ Yeah, to perform auth via API post req and then use that session in test to save time
