REST API testing is essential for ensuring the functionality, security, and performance of RESTful APIs. It involves validating the API’s endpoints, methods, and data formats, typically using tools and techniques that support automated testing, error handling, and logging to enhance the testing process. What is REST API Testing? REST API testing is a critical aspect… Continue reading A Comprehensive Guide to REST API Testing

Explanation for Common API Response Codes
When working with APIs, response codes are essential for understanding the outcome of a request. Here’s a quick guide to some of the most common HTTP response codes and what they mean: Informational 100 Continue – The server received the request headers and is waiting for the body. 101 Switching Protocols – The client requested… Continue reading Explanation for Common API Response Codes
Generating Access Tokens and Creating an Integration Record in NetSuite

Navigate to Setup > Company > Enable Features. Click the SuiteCloud tab. Under the Manage Authentication section, check Token-Based Authentication. Click Save. Step 2: Create an Integration Record An integration record defines how an… Continue reading Generating Access Tokens and Creating an Integration Record in NetSuite
API Routes in Next.js
Next.js provides API routes to handle backend functionality within your application. These routes live in the pages/api/ directory and allow you to create endpoints for fetching data, authentication, and handling form submissions. Using this approach allows for better scalability, flexibility, and efficiency in your applications. It helps in organizing code, improving performance, and ensuring seamless… Continue reading API Routes in Next.js
jQuery Promises and Deferred Objects
At the core of how SuiteCommerce Advanced works are AJAX calls. Asynchronously, requests to send and receive data are made to and from NetSuite while the frontend waits. If we didn’t use async JavaScript, this waiting could be blocking: that is, the user would be stuck, unable to do anything until the call is resolved.… Continue reading jQuery Promises and Deferred Objects
Testing NetSuite Integration with External Websites Using Postman
Testing the integration between NetSuite and external websites using Postman ensures that data flows smoothly between the two systems and that operations like order creation and updates function as expected. Set Up Your Postman Environment Start by setting up a Postman collection to organize related API tests. Configure environment variables such as the netsuite_url, customer_id,… Continue reading Testing NetSuite Integration with External Websites Using Postman
How do API calls differ between Vue 2 and Vue 3?
In Vue 2 and Vue 3, the approach to making API calls is similar in terms of using libraries like axios or fetch, but the structure of the code and how state is managed differs due to the changes in Vue 3’s architecture. Key Differences Between API Calls in Vue 2 and Vue 3: State… Continue reading How do API calls differ between Vue 2 and Vue 3?
Advantage of REST API over SOAP API in NetSuite Integrations
When integrating with NetSuite, REST APIs generally provide greater efficiency and ease of use than SOAP APIs. Here’s why: 1. Speed and Performance REST APIs are designed to be lightweight and typically use JSON for data exchange, which is faster to process than the XML used by SOAP APIs. For high-performance applications or real-time integrations,… Continue reading Advantage of REST API over SOAP API in NetSuite Integrations
SOAP API
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) API is a protocol designed to exchange structured information in web services. Unlike REST APIs, which rely on a stateless, resource-based approach, SOAP is a highly standardized protocol that relies on XML for message formatting and is designed to enable communication between applications over the internet or other networks. SOAP… Continue reading SOAP API
REST API
A REST (Representational State Transfer) API is a powerful tool for building and connecting software applications over the internet. It allows different systems to communicate using HTTP requests to perform various actions on resources, like retrieving, creating, updating, or deleting data. REST is widely adopted due to its simplicity, scalability, and compatibility with web standards.… Continue reading REST API
