Retrieve page content, form fields, and blog posts from practicetestautomation.com. List pages, extract visible text, and pull structured form field data.
What is the practicetestautomation API?
This API provides 3 endpoints for accessing content from practicetestautomation.com, a site built specifically for QA and test automation practice. The get_page_content endpoint returns all visible text and structured form fields — including inputs, selects with their options, textareas, and buttons — from any page identified by its slug. The list_pages and get_post_content endpoints round out coverage with page metadata and full blog post text.

Typed, relational, agent-ready
A generated client with real types, enums, and the links between objects — the structure a flat JSON response can't carry. Autocompletes in your editor and reads cleanly to coding agents.

}About the practicetestautomation API
Page and Form Field Access
The get_page_content endpoint accepts a slug parameter (for example, practice-test-login or practice-test-exceptions) and returns the page title, a visible_text string containing all on-page text separated by newlines, and a form_fields array. Each item in form_fields includes the field's tag, type, name, id, and value. Select elements also carry an options array, making it straightforward to enumerate all dropdown choices without rendering the page yourself.
Listing Available Pages
The list_pages endpoint returns an array of page summary objects, each containing id, title, slug, link, date, and modified. The optional per_page integer parameter accepts values from 1 to 100, letting you control how many results come back in a single call. A total integer in the response tells you how many pages exist on the site overall.
Blog Post Content
The get_post_content endpoint retrieves a blog post by slug and returns the post title, date (ISO format), excerpt, and visible_text. This is useful for extracting tutorial content, course material references, or test scenario descriptions that the site's blog covers without needing to parse HTML yourself.
The practicetestautomation API is a managed, monitored endpoint for practicetestautomation.com — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when practicetestautomation.com changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official practicetestautomation.com API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Verify login form field names and IDs match expected values in automated test suites
- Enumerate all dropdown options on practice pages to validate select element behavior
- Pull visible page text to assert static content hasn't changed between site deployments
- List all available practice pages to dynamically build a test matrix without hardcoding slugs
- Extract blog post content for offline reference or indexing in a learning management system
- Compare form field structures across multiple practice pages to detect regressions
- Retrieve modified dates from

One credit = one API call regardless of which marketplace API you call. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does practicetestautomation.com have an official developer API?+
What exactly does `get_page_content` return for form fields on the login page?+
practice-test-login slug, form_fields returns objects for each input element, carrying tag, type, name, id, and value fields. Select elements additionally include an options array listing every choice in the dropdown. Buttons are also captured as form field objects.Does `list_pages` return blog posts as well as static pages?+
list_pages endpoint covers site pages only. Blog posts are not included in that listing. To retrieve a blog post you need to call get_post_content directly with a known slug. The API does not currently expose an endpoint for listing all available blog post slugs. You can fork it on Parse and revise to add a blog post listing endpoint.Is there a way to filter `get_page_content` results to specific form field types?+
form_fields array. Filtering by type or tag is not done server-side; you apply that logic client-side after receiving the full array. You can fork the API on Parse and revise it to add a field_type filter parameter.
