- Validate API responses and status codes
- Test API authentication and authorization
- Verify response schemas and data structures
- Generate API test reports

## Usage Examples

### Endpoint Testing
Test API endpoints with different HTTP methods and payloads to ensure they work correctly.

### Response Validation
Validate that API responses match expected schemas, status codes, and data formats.

### Authentication Testing
Test various authentication mechanisms (API keys, OAuth, JWT, etc.).

## Best Practices
- Always check status codes and error responses
- Validate response data types and structures
