# class: APIRequestContext
* langs: js, python

This API is used for the Web API testing. You can use it to trigger API endpoints, configure micro-services, prepare
environment or the service to your e2e test. When used on [Page] or a [BrowserContext], this API will automatically use
the cookies from the corresponding [BrowserContext]. This means that if you log in using this API, your e2e test
will be logged in and vice versa.

## async method: APIRequestContext.delete

## async method: APIRequestContext.dispose
