Mastering API Testing with Cypress
summary
Uses the ministry of testing hotel booking API and the cyp-plugin api to run real GET and POST calls, shows GET /bookings returning status 200 and GET /bookings/:id asserting firstName "Eric" and booking dates, posts a JSON payload and verifies creation by receiving a bookingId, builds a reusable JS module with getBookings/getBookingById/postBooking that accepts payload params, demonstrates exporting responses to PDF, and recommends AJV-style schema validation and token methods for CI-integrated API test suites.
