Start Api Request: REQ_START

The Start Api Request command is used to initialize an API request in an API automation script. It must always be the first step when creating any API automation in HuLoop. Without this command, subsequent API steps cannot function as expected.

Example: Suppose you are automating an API request to fetch student data from an API endpoint. The Start Api Request command is used to initialize the API request process.

Steps to Configure:

  1. From the Action drop-down, select Start Api Request.
  2. Leave the Screen, Element Key, and Parameters sections blank.
  3. Click Save.

Note: While the steps for adding an action command are identical in both views, the display of the steps changes:

scrn-start-api-request-tabular-view
Tabular View
scrn-start-api-request-card-view
Card View

Expected Outcome on Execution: The system initializes the API request framework, enabling subsequent steps to configure headers, body, and endpoints, and send the request.

This command acts as a starting point for all API scripts in HuLoop.
