🏠 RequestsLibrary is a Robot Framework library aimed to provide HTTP api testing functionalities by wrapping the well known Python Requests Library.

${resp}= GET https://www.google.comStatus Should Be and Request Should Be Successfull can use the last response, no need to pass the response anymore!
GET https://www.google.com Status Should Be 200New keywords structure: All requests keywords have been rewritten because of many not backward compatible changes and to allow in the near future requests keywords without a session. Example Get Request become GET On Session and soon there will be also just GET when a session is not needed. Old keywords * Request are now deprecated and will be removed in 1.0.0 version.
Implicit assert on status code: * On Session keywords automatically fail if an error status code is returned. expect_status= could be used to specify a status code (201, OK, Bad request) or any if you want to evaluate the response in any case.
Closer to the original Requests library: New keywords have the same parameter orders and structure as the original. Lot of pre-parsing / encoding has been removed to have a more accurate and unchanged behaviour.
Cleaner project architecture: Main keywords file has been split with a more logic division to allow better and faster maintenance.
