# API Testing Project

This project is designed to test REST APIs and generate test results in HTML format using the `pytest` testing framework. 
The project verifies the functionality of API endpoints such as fetching, creating, updating, and deleting resources.



Before running the project, ensure the following tools are installed on your system:

1. **Python** (version 3.9 or above)
2. **pip** (Python package manager)

   Run the following command to install the required Python libraries:  
   pip install -r requirements.txt
 
3. **Verify the Setup**  
Ensure that the project structure is as follows:
API_Testing_Project/ 
├── tests/ │ ├── test_api.py 
├── utils/ │ ├── api_helper.py

 Running Tests

1. **Run All Tests**  
Use the following command to execute all tests and generate an HTML report:  
pytest --html=reports/test_report.html


2. **View the Report**
