In any case, this provides a direct integration between a tool SPECIFICALLY designed for testing API and the TestComplete scripting engine.
The other approach is one that I've used in the past where I programmatically created code using the MSXML2.HTTPXML and MSXML2.DOMDocument objects provided by Microsoft and build my own set of tests where I'd send requests and process the results I received back. This, obviously, takes a little bit more work but if you can write the code, then I say go for it.
