I am going to join a new company and they are asking for API testing experience, so I have asked them that which tool they use like Soap UI etc. Below is their response:

We don’t use any tool like SOAP UI as we post the payload to endpoints via automation to validate response

Request you to please help me understand, what should I do to get hands on with this.

Please help

Ask them how do they automatically ""post" the payloads to end point without using any tool

"Post" automatically isn't humanely possible!

You just need to understand the architecture of framework, REST or SOAP. Also there are multiple frameworks are there in market implementing any of these.

For example, In your new company they might use Jersey RESTfull services, You just need to know how to use jersey client to invoke API, further you have to parse response and validate. So in short get the name of framework, refer its standard documentation.

Hope it helps!!
