Why my API requests have suddenly stopped working?

Suddenly, my API requests are not producing any response. They are just getting executed for an infinite amount of time. But the same requests are working in Postman. Please find the attached screen...

    Hi richie ,

     

    It is working now.

    1) It was actually the proxy setting issue which was done by the support team and hence my normal requests were not working.

    2) And the incorrect event handler script added to the test case which automatically gets added to all the test cases.

     

    I found this when I enabled the proxy setting in Postman and my requests stopped working. And then I realised that the issue in ReadyAPI/SOAPUI which has to do something with the proxy. So I checked the proxy setting which was actually ON as shown below.

    And now I have made it OFF and it is absolutely working fine.

    Thanks for your help too!

     

    Regards,

    Jagruuti

Hey Jagruuti,

I've had this several times myself.

What i do when i get this scenario, is that i grab the RAW request from ReadyAPI! and grab the RAW request from Postman and compare the two against each other....payload, http headers, full url string (servername and URI) etc.....that'll enable you to identify what the issue is.

I like the Fiddler app for this sort of diagnostic analysis (it proxies the requests/responses), but it's not essential, but its a great tool that'll help with other issues where you need to compare between Postman and ReadyAPI!/SoapUI.

Oh, btw. Regarding the image you attached. You scribbled out a lot of stuff you dont actually need to. You dont need to scribble out stuff like teststep names to ensure youre covering off the security aspects. For future reference you need to blank out the 'servername' (NOT the URI....just the host/servername) and any authorisation/authentication details like usernames and passwords/token details, etc. If you consider the details a black hat would need to cause problems (i.e. the servername and auth details) that should guide you in determining what needs to be blanked/scribbled out. Without these details (host/servername and auth details) someone with nefarious intentions would have no place to start.

Ok, thats all i got for now!

Nice one,

Rich

Hi richie ,

 

Thanks for the info!

I have installed and trying to explore Fiddler 4. Can you help me to know how will I compare the ReadyAPI/SOAPUI and Postman requests in Fiddler 4?

 

Thanks and Regards,
