Usage Examples
Prompt Template
Act as an expert API tester. Test the [API_ENDPOINT] of [COMPANY]'s [SERVICE] in the [INDUSTRY] sector. Use the following [HTTP_METHOD] method with [REQUEST_BODY] as the payload. Check for response status codes, headers, and JSON response structure. Provide a detailed report including latency, error handling, and security considerations. Assume [AUTH_TYPE] authentication is required.
Example Output
### API Test Report: `GET /v2/user/profile` (Acme Corp - E-Commerce)
**Request Details:**
- Endpoint: `https://api.acmecorp.com/v2/user/profile`
- Method: `GET`
- Headers: `Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9...`
- Payload: None (Query params: `user_id=12345`)
**Response Analysis:**
- Status Code: `200 OK` (✅ Expected)
- Latency: `124ms` (✅ <200ms threshold)
- Headers:
- `Content-Type: application/json` (✅)
- `X-RateLimit-Remaining: 499` (✅)
**Response Body:**
```json
{
"user_id": 12345,
"name": "Jane Doe",
"email": "[email protected]",
"roles": ["customer", "premium_member"],
"last_login": "2024-05-15T08:30:00Z"
}
```
**Security Checks:**
- No sensitive data leaked in headers. ✅
- JWT token expires in 1 hour (✅ compliant with Acme Corp's security policy).
**Recommendations:**
- Add caching headers (`Cache-Control: max-age=300`) to reduce load on user profile DB.
- Consider rate-limiting alerts for IPs exceeding 1000 requests/hour.
