API Call

Function: API_CALL

The API_CALL function sends an HTTP request through one of the API configurations stored in TEO. This function is essential for testing interactions with external APIs.

The request is sent by the TEO platform, not by the test device, using the configuration's stored address, method, headers and credentials. A failure of this step is therefore not a device fault.

Supported on: any device; the step runs on the platform.
