REST APIs and SOAP web services are specific APIs that can be published and called over the Internet by client applications. Katalon Studio supports functional testing of these kinds of APIs. This topic provides an overview of how to set up a project for API testing.
Proxy Settings
Proxy can be configured at: Preferences > Proxy. The setting affects both WebUI and WebService test execution.

Certificate settings
Users may find their computers setup in a network that requires certification setup in order to access the internet.
Katalon Studio supports the capability to bypass certificate validation so that users with restricted network policy can work with Katalon Studio as usual. This setting can be found at Project > Settings > Network and it affects both WebUI and WebService testings.
