# Overview

### User documentation

Create, configure, and test REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs with Qyrus. Use these guides to send your first request, organize automated tests, build API workflows, and understand execution results.

[**Get started**](/api-testing/getting-started/project-creation-for-api.md)· [**Frequently asked questions**](/api-testing/faq/faq.md)

***

## Start with your first API test

New to API testing? Read the [API introduction](/api-testing/getting-started/intro-to-api.md), then follow this path:

1. **Create your project.** [Create an API Testing project](/api-testing/getting-started/project-creation-for-api.md) and review its [Project Settings](/api-testing/project-setup/project-set-up.md).
2. **Find your way around.** Learn how to access Build, Setup, and Reports in the [navigation guide](/api-testing/project-setup/build-navigation.md).
3. **Send a request.** Use [API Playground](/api-testing/build/api-playground.md) to create or import an API, configure its request, and inspect the response.
4. **Run an automated test.** Save the API to a [test suite](/api-testing/build/test-suites.md), add test cases, and choose an [execution mode](/api-testing/build/execution.md).
5. **Review the results.** Open [Functional Reports](/api-testing/report/functional-reports.md) to inspect assertions, request details, and responses.

> **Before sending a request:** Configure any [environment values](/api-testing/project-setup/global-and-environment.md), [pre-request APIs](/api-testing/project-setup/pre-requisite-api.md), or [client certificates](/api-testing/project-setup/certificate.md) required by your target API.
