Rest Assured Java Methods – Complete Guide with

Examples

Introduction to Rest Assured

Rest Assured is a powerful Java library for testing RESTful APIs. It simplifies HTTP request
creation and response validation using a fluent, readable syntax.
Add Maven dependency:

[Link]-assured
rest-assured
5.4.0
test

Base Setup

import [Link];

public class BaseTest {


static {
[Link] = "[Link]
[Link] = 443;
}
}

HTTP Request Methods

GET – Retrieve Data:


given().when().get("/users/2").then().statusCode(200).body("[Link]", equalTo(2));

POST – Create Resource:


given().header("Content-Type", "application/json").body("{\"name\":\"Siva\",\"job\":\"QA\"}")
.when().post("/users").then().statusCode(201);

PUT – Update Resource:


given().header("Content-Type", "application/json").body("{\"job\":\"Senior QA\"}")
.when().put("/users/2").then().statusCode(200);

PATCH – Partial Update:


given().header("Content-Type", "application/json").body("{\"job\":\"Lead QA\"}")
.when().patch("/users/2").then().statusCode(200);

DELETE – Remove Resource:


when().delete("/users/2").then().statusCode(204);

Common Rest Assured Methods


given() – Define request specifications
when() – Define action
then() – Validate response
body() – Validate response body
header() – Add or verify headers
queryParam() – Add query parameter
pathParam() – Add path parameter
statusCode() – Check HTTP status
extract() – Extract data from response
log() – Log request or response

Authentication Methods

Basic Auth:
given().auth().basic("user","pass").when().get("/secure").then().statusCode(200);

Bearer Token:
given().header("Authorization","Bearer token").when().get("/profile").then().statusCode(200);

Assertions

.then().statusCode(200).body("[Link]", equalTo("test@[Link]")).body("[Link]",
notNullValue());

Response Extraction

Response response = given().when().get("/users/2");


[Link]("Status Code: " + [Link]());
[Link]("Body: " + [Link]().asString());

Best Practices

• Use Base URI for all tests.


• Keep JSON payloads in separate files.
• Use POJOs for request/response mapping.
• Add logging for debugging (.log().all()).
• Validate both status codes and response content.
• Integrate with TestNG/JUnit for automation suites.
