API learning path: from first GET to authenticated flows

Tags: api, get, post, query params, json, auth, token, bearer, openapi, spec


Recommended API order:

1. Direct GET
2. Direct POST with JSON body
3. GET with query parameters
4. POST with query + body
5. Token login
6. Bearer-token follow-up request
7. OpenAPI/spec-driven request
8. Second real-world API example

The goal is to learn request construction, assertions, and request chaining before you move into larger regression packs.
