Using Parameters in API Steps

In Testim, we can call APIs within UI Tests for:
Validation
Data inquiry
Data retrieval etc

There are two types of API steps
Add API action – to get data that is returned from an API call. Can store and use this data
Validate API - to validate data returned from an API call, usually validating data in the backend
