Email inbox apiary

APIary is a popular tool for designing, testing, and documenting APIs. Here's an example of how you can use APIary to interact with an email inbox:

API Definition

Let's assume we have an email inbox API that allows us to retrieve, create, update, and delete emails. We can define the API using APIary's syntax:

# Email Inbox API

## GET /emails
* summary: Retrieve a list of emails
* responses:
  200:
    description: A list of emails
    schema:
      type: array
      items:
        $ref: '#/definitions/Email'

## POST /emails
* summary: Create a new email
* parameters:
  - in: body
    name: email
    schema:
      $ref: '#/definitions/Email'
* responses:
  201:
    description: The created email
    schema:
      $ref: '#/definitions/Email'

## GET /emails/{id}
* summary: Retrieve an email by ID
* parameters:
  - in: path
    name: id
    type: integer
* responses:
  200:
    description: The email
    schema:
      $ref: '#/definitions/Email'

## PUT /emails/{id}
* summary: Update an email
* parameters:
  - in: path
    name: id
    type: integer
  - in: body
    name: email
    schema:
      $ref: '#/definitions/Email'
* responses:
  200:
    description: The updated email
    schema:
      $ref: '#/definitions/Email'

## DELETE /emails/{id}
* summary: Delete an email
* parameters:
  - in: path
    name: id
    type: integer
* responses:
  204:
    description: The email was deleted

Email Definition

We also need to define the Email schema:

# Email

* type: object
* properties:
  id:
    type: integer
  subject:
    type: string
  body:
    type: string
  from:
    type: string
  to:
    type: array
    items:
      type: string
  cc:
    type: array
    items:
      type: string
  bcc:
    type: array
    items:
      type: string
  sentAt:
    type: string
    format: date-time

APIary Test

Now, let's create a test for the API using APIary's test syntax:

# Test: Email Inbox API

## Test: Retrieve a list of emails
* request:
  method: GET
  path: /emails
* response:
  status: 200
  body:
    emails:
      - id: 1
        subject: Test Email
        body: This is a test email
        from: [email protected]
        to:
          - [email protected]
        cc:
          - [email protected]
        bcc:
          - [email protected]
        sentAt: 2023-03-01T14:30:00Z

## Test: Create a new email
* request:
  method: POST
  path: /emails
  body:
    email:
      subject: New Email
      body: This is a new email
      from: [email protected]
      to:
        - [email protected]
      cc:
        - [email protected]
      bcc:
        - [email protected]
* response:
  status: 201
  body:
    email:
      id: 2
      subject: New Email
      body: This is a new email
      from: [email protected]
      to:
        - [email protected]
      cc:
        - [email protected]
      bcc:
        - [email protected]
      sentAt: 2023-03-01T14:30:00Z

## Test: Retrieve an email by ID
* request:
  method: GET
  path: /emails/1
* response:
  status: 200
  body:
    email:
      id: 1
      subject: Test Email
      body: This is a test email
      from: [email protected]
      to:
        - [email protected]
      cc:
        - [email protected]
      bcc:
        - [email protected]
      sentAt: 2023-03-01T14:30:00Z

## Test: Update an email
* request:
  method: PUT
  path: /emails/1
  body:
    email:
      subject: Updated Email
      body: This is an updated email
* response:
  status: 200
  body:
    email:
      id: 1
      subject: Updated Email
      body: This is an updated email
      from: [email protected]
      to:
        - [email protected]
      cc:
        - [email protected]
      bcc:
        - [email protected]
      sentAt: 2023-03-01T14:30:00Z

## Test: Delete an email
* request:
  method: DELETE
  path: /emails/1
* response:
  status: 204

Running the Test

To run the test, you can use APIary's command-line tool or the APIary web interface. The test will verify that the API responds correctly to the specified requests.

Note that this is just a simple example, and you may need to add more tests and scenarios to thoroughly test your email inbox API.
