Mini Project
Automated API Monitoring Suite with Mock Server
Build a complete automated API monitoring setup. Part 1 — Mock Server: Create a 'Payment API' collection with the following request shells (no real backend): POST /payments/initiate, GET /payments/{id}/status, POST /payments/refund. For each, save two examples: a success response and an error response. Create a Postman mock server from this collection. Test that hitting the mock server URL returns your saved examples. Part 2 — Newman Automation: Create a real test collection against the JSONPlaceholder API with 10 requests across CRUD operations. All requests must have 3+ test assertions. Export the collection and run it with Newman generating a JUnit XML report. Part 3 — Monitoring: Set up a Postman Monitor on your JSONPlaceholder collection to run every hour. Verify the monitor dashboard shows run history. Document the monitor URL and screenshot the results.
