Ask HN: How do you do your RESTful API automated testing?

I found this approach to doing BDD for an API:

Can extract links to follow. We'll have more info soon specific to hypermedia.

Interesting, thanks!

I just use asynchronous tests? Is there more to it?

Well, do you just use something like requests to make an HTTP call (or a series of them) and examine JSON or XML results (which seems tedious to me), or do you have a higher level library that understands resources, links, etc.?

I just make requests:

plus complemented by tests on the server as well:

and generally test functionality + output format.
