May the Requests Be With You: Playwright API Magic
summary
Uses Playwright to intercept and assert live API calls (api.practice-software-testing.com/products), capturing the products response and running route.fetch and route.continue to make nine UI assertions against name and price. Shows aborting slow or unwanted calls with route.abort, modifying a fetched JSON to set a product name to "mock product", price to 10,000 and inStock false, then returning it with route.fulfill with JSON file. Includes debugger demos and a public repo with runnable examples.
