Hey, Thanks Benjamin for explaining these technical key points so well. I'm sure many of us struggle at some level with this, as the complexities of applications keep growing. By making such a library, automating API testing becomes a cakewalk. In addition to the technical know-hows, it is also imperative to understand how to implement those skills efficiently.
Please read this blog on "Effective practices for API testing" and do share your take on the same. cigniti.com/blog/effective-practic...

What I would expect is a github repo with framework code. Which may or may not include Api testing, Logging, Results reporting and DB connection. I am confortable with Java Rest Assured but having a working example of Python framework will help me venture into Pyhton Api tetsing.
