Hi Robot framework community,

RobotFramework is generic and the different technologies are handled by libraries.

For example Mobile testing by Appium

Regarding API the question would be: “what api?”

A very simple API client with no request body:

Library                 	HttpCtrl.Client
Library                 	HttpCtrl.Json

Set Local Variable    ${HTTP_METHOD}      GET    # GET, POST, DELETE, ....
Set Local Variable    ${MY_BASE_URL}      www.robotframework.org
Set Local Variable    ${URL_PATH}         /path/to/my/api/call

 Initialize Client       ${MY_BASE_URL}

 Set Request Header		Authorization				Bearer ${MY_TOKEN}
 Set Request Header		Content-Type				application/json
 Set Request Header		Cache-Control				no-cache

 Send HTTPS Request	        ${HTTP_METHOD}	${URL_PATH}

 ${RESPONSE_STATUS}=		Get Response Status
 ${RESPONSE_BODY}=	    	Get Response Body
 ${RESPONSE_HEADER}=		Get Response Headers

As René states - the end result depends on what API you want to use.
