API Automation testing for the Restful-Booker hotel booking API, built with Postman, Newman, and the htmlextra reporter. This portfolio demonstrates a professional approach to API testing — full CRUD coverage, automatic authentication handling, and a dedicated set of negative / edge-case tests.
| File | Description |

| # | Folder | Requests | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Auth | 1 | Authenticates and stores {{token}} automatically |
| 2 | Create Booking | 1 | Creates a booking, stores {{booking_id}} |
| 3 | Get Booking | 1 | Retrieves the created booking |
| 4 | Update Booking | 1 | Updates the booking using the stored token |
| 5 | Delete Booking | 1 | Deletes the booking using the stored token |
| 6 | Negative Tests | 8 | Deliberately broken/malicious inputs |
Total: 13 requests / 17 assertions — 0 failed, 0 skipped.
No hardcoded URLs are used anywhere in the collection — everything runs through {{base_url}}, {{token}}, and {{booking_id}}.
| Test | What it checks |
|---|---|
| Update Booking – Bad Auth | Rejects request with invalid/expired token |
| Get Deleted Booking | Confirms a deleted resource is no longer retrievable |
| Create Booking – Empty Body | API behavior on an empty POST body |
| Create Booking – Wrong Data Type | String sent where a number is expected |
| Delete Non-Existing Booking | DELETE on an ID that doesn't exist |
| Create Booking – Payload Too Large | Very large string payload (10,000+ chars) |
| Create Booking – Injection Attack | <script> / XSS-style payload in a text field |
| Create Booking – Invalid Values | Negative numbers, null, and other invalid values |
