Practice app · Acme REST API
A live REST + GraphQL API with auth, validation, pagination, rate limiting and an interactive request console.
Your starter code already declares BASE_URL — call the API relative to it.
Objective
Write a contract suite that validates the list, item and error shapes so a pipeline can gate on it.
Your task
- 1GET BASE_URL + "/users?limit=5" and validate the envelope and every item against the User schema.
- 2GET BASE_URL + "/users/1" and validate the same schema.
- 3GET BASE_URL + "/users/9999" and validate the error envelope { error: { code, message } }.
Acceptance criteria
- GET /users and GET /users/1 return 200
- GET /users/{id} returns 404
- Schema validation is used
- At least 3 assertions pass
