Rest Assured: GET Request Example

Step 1: Set base uri.

RestAssured.baseURI = "http://localhost:8080";

Step 2: Use given() method to send the request with given input like parameters, headers etc.,

Response response = given().header("Accept", "application/json").when().get("api/v1/employees").thenReturn();

Above snippet hit the request http://localhost:8080/api/v1/employees by setting the header 'Accept' to 'application/json'.

App.java

package com.sample.app;

import io.restassured.RestAssured;
import io.restassured.response.Response;

import static io.restassured.RestAssured.given;

public class App {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        RestAssured.baseURI = "http://localhost:8080";

        Response response = given().header("Accept", "application/json").when().get("api/v1/employees").thenReturn();

        String respStr = response.getBody().asString();
        System.out.println(respStr);
    }
}

Output
