Testing Flask APIs

Duration: 20 minutes

Testing Flask APIs\n\nFlask provides a built‑in test client that lets you make requests to your app without starting a live server. Pair it with pytest for clean, discoverable tests.\n\npython\nimport pytest\nfrom myapp import app # Assume your Flask instance is called `app`\n\n@pytest.fixture\ndef client():\n with app.test_client() as client:\n yield client\n\ndef test_get_users(client):\n response = client.get('/api/users')\n assert response.status_code == 200\n data = response.get_json()\n assert isinstance(data, list)\n\n\nRun pytest to execute the test suite. You can also test error cases, authentication, and database interactions.\n
