    doubtsreadyapi  : So, for this you can write groovy code. to match your condition, you can use below logic:

     

    fetch this condition from excel file or any other config file:

     

    condition = "add"
if(condition == "add"){
     url == "https://addition.com"
}
else if(condition == "multiply"){
     url == "https://multiplication.com"
}

testRunner.testCase.getTestStepByName("Reuuest").setPropertyValue("Endpoint",url);

    Hope this will help you in resolving issue. Let me know in case you need more help.

      Provide sample data of requests and desired output.

      By the way, does the service allows that modified requests?

      What is the use case for this, haven't heard this type of question at all.

        Hey doubtsreadyapi ,

        Yep....i'm intrigued by this also as ive never heard of anyone wanting to combine two requests into one endpoint.

        Im actually wondering if im misunderstanding what youre asking for because the URI actually corresponds to a location....right?

        So http://servername/folder1/folder2/folder3

        Equates to \\servername\folder1$\folder2\folder3

        So im a bit lost as to how if the listening api has a defined location how a post request with an api with a different uri would be accepted?

        I appreciate that i dont believe that finding the api is done purely by tracking through an indexed directory structure (cos that sounds rubbish!), but still....the uri location seems a bit of a problem.

        Also...so you have 2 posts with 2 separate payloads....what if the different apis were expecting different datatype content? e.g. .json and .xml, Etc., etc.

        I keep seeing problems which makes me think ive misunderstood what you want to do, but its a cool idea so would welcome hearing about this.

        POSTUPDATE: Can you confirm what your technical/functional requirements indicate in regards to posting multiple different messages (corresponding to the two apis' messages) to a single api? As the concept deviates from 'standard' api development (i.e. a single URI : single api) id expect what you describe to be very clearly defined somewhere.

        Nice one

      Yes you can combine these 2 endpoint but i don't think this will work if you combine these 2 endpoint.

       

      Could you please elaborate your use case.
