ReadyAPI Integration with TestComplete

As I'm a beginner in TestComplete, I'm interested to know how can we do the following flows where I need to deal with both API and UI tests. Before I begin my UI tests, I need to do the following AP...

      Thanks, AlexKaras for the kind update.

       

      Here are the sample cURL requests

      //POST request

      1. curl --location --request POST 'URL/oauth/token' \

      --header 'Cookie: "XXXXXXXXX"' \
      --form 'VAR1="VALUE1"' \
      --form 'VAR2="VALUE2"' \
      --form 'VAR3="VALUE3"' \
      --form 'VAR4="VALUE4"'
      //subsequent GET request where the output value from POST request will be referred
      2. curl --location --request GET 'XXXX/create-data' \
      --header 'X-OAuth-Authorization:
      : "token value from the above request"' \
      --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
      --header 'Accept: application/json' \
      --header 'Cookie: XXXXXX'
      //final response where the "VALUE6" needs to grabbed and pass to UI tests
      Response:
      {
      "status": 200,
      "body": {
      "VAR5": "VALUE5",
      "VAR6": "VALUE6",
      ....
      }
      }
       
      Notes:
      1. Though as mentioned in the document, This type of form-data request can be achieved without ReadyAPI with third-party requests package especially in python-script but I also saw a note in Python script documentation that dealing with third-party packages are not the recommended approach as it is not stable during execution.
      2. Since having cURL requests and seems this is possible without ReadyAPI Integration by referring following threads:

      Hi,

       

      Can you provide sample request and expected response that you need to execute?

       

      I am not sure that properties from ReadyAPI can be shared into TestComplete project, but I am pretty sure that property can be saved into file and then TestComplete can read the content of this file.
