How this template works
APIs Selection
The API selection filters in this template specify the criteria for selecting the APIs to be tested. In this case, the filters include the response code range (between 200 and 299) and the extraction of the "urlVar" variable from the URL.
Execute request
The execute section of the template defines the type of request to be executed, which is a single request in this case. It also specifies the modifications to be made to the URL using the "urlPaths" word list, and enables following redirects.
Validation
The validation section sets the criteria for validating the response of the executed request. It checks that the response code is equal to 200 and that the response payload contains both the "version" and "services" keywords.
