How does RESTinstance differ from RequestsLibrary in Robot Framework?

Unlike RequestsLibrary, RESTinstance features built-in assertions, native JSON Schema validation, and state management, reducing the need for external libraries like JSONLibrary.

Can I use RESTinstance to validate response types?

Yes, RESTinstance provides specific keywords like Integer, String, Number, and Boolean to validate both the data type and value of response fields automatically.

Does this skill support OpenAPI or Swagger specs?

Yes, RESTinstance is designed to integrate with OpenAPI/Swagger specifications to provide automatic response validation against your API documentation.

How do I handle authentication using this skill?

You can use the 'Set Headers' keyword to apply Bearer tokens or Basic Auth globally, or pass specific headers to individual request keywords.

セキュリティとテスト

Automates REST API testing within Robot Framework using built-in JSON Schema validation and OpenAPI integration.

The RESTinstance skill empowers AI agents to design, implement, and maintain robust REST API tests by leveraging the RESTinstance library's unique capabilities. Unlike standard request libraries, it provides a fluent interface for automatic response validation, type checking (Integer, String, Boolean), and complex JSON Schema enforcement. This skill is ideal for developers and QA engineers who need to ensure API compliance with OpenAPI specifications while maintaining clean, readable Robot Framework test suites with stateful instance tracking and built-in assertions.
