Creating Library

Creating API libraries involves to assemble and organize API requests into folders or categories for better management. These libraries streamline the testing and development by enabling easy reuse and execution of common API interactions. You can create a new library from scratch or import existing ones from tools like Postman, Swagger, or Open API which enhances the efficiency, collaboration and organization in your workflow. Let us see how to create a library:

Creating a new Library from scratch​
