I can help you build an integration test suite for your REST API. A good suite typically covers:

- **Happy path** — each endpoint returns expected results with valid input
- **Validation** — invalid input returns appropriate error codes
- **Authentication** — protected endpoints reject unauthorized requests
- **Edge cases** — empty results, pagination, boundaries
- **Error handling** — server errors are handled gracefully

You'd want to test status codes, response bodies, and headers. Using a framework like Jest with supertest (Node) or pytest with requests (Python) works well.

Can you share your API endpoints or an OpenAPI spec?
Afterwith API Test Suite Builder
Integration test suite — generated per endpoint, and crucially including
the tests people skip because they're tedious, which are the ones that
catch real bugs.

STRUCTURE — per endpoint, not per "feature"
  POST /users
    ✓ 201 + body matches schema on valid input      (happy path)
    ✓ 400 on missing required field                  (validation)
    ✓ 400 on wrong type (string where int expected)
    ✓ 401 without auth token                         (auth)
    ✓ 403 with valid token, wrong permissions        ← usually skipped
    ✓ 409 on duplicate email                         (conflict)
    ✓ 422 on malformed but well-typed input
  GET /users?page=2
    ✓ pagination returns correct slice + total count
    ✓ empty result set returns [] not null           ← the null bug
    ✓ out-of-range page returns empty, not error

THE TESTS THAT ACTUALLY FIND BUGS
Happy-path tests pass on day one and rarely fail again. The value is in:
  • the 403 case (valid token, wrong role) — the most common real auth
    hole, and the most commonly untested
  • empty-result shape ("[]" vs "null") — breaks clients silently
  • the boundary between 400 and 422 — malformed vs. invalid
These are what I generate by default, because a suite that only tests
happy paths gives false confidence.

CONTRACT TESTS
If you have an OpenAPI spec, I generate tests that assert every response
matches the declared schema — so a backend change that drifts from the
contract fails CI instead of breaking a client in prod.

WHAT I NEED
The endpoints or an OpenAPI spec. With a spec I can generate the full
suite including contract tests; without one I generate from the endpoint
list and you fill in the auth model. Which do you have?
