@mansiruhil13 The error AssertionError indicates that the expected API key in your Postman collection's authorization settings was not found, likely due to a missing or improperly set API key.

Try the below steps to resolve:

-> Open Postman.
-> Find the collection where you want to set the API key.
-> Click on the collection name to open its settings.
-> Go to the Authorization tab within the collection settings.
-> In the Type dropdown menu, select API Key.
-> In the Key field, enter the name of the API key as required by your API (e.g., apikey).
-> In the Value field, enter the API key value (e.g., postmanrulz).
-> Under Add to, select Header (if required by your API) to ensure the key is added to the request headers.
-> Click on the request name to open it.
-> Go to the Authorization tab.
-> Set the Type to Inherit auth from parent.
-> Click Save to apply the changes to the collection and the requests.
-> Go to your test runner in Postman.
-> Run the collection tests again to check if the error is resolved.

@vimistify Heyz , The issue is due to a missing or incorrect API Key at the collection level in Postman. Go to Collection → Authorization tab, set the correct key, and ensure it's passed properly in Headers or Query Params. If the test fails with AssertionError, check your test script and environment variables ({{apikey}}). Debug using console.log(pm.environment.get("apikey")). Fix these, and it should work! 🚀
