I disagree with this. I didn't see any valid examples of Cypress API testing being the worst!!. I have a first hand experience working with Cypress for API testing for the last 3 years. First of all didn't pay a single penny so far, (paid only if you use their integrated cloud dashboard, you can use Mochawesome instead). I didn't find any reliability issues. I use Cucumber on top which provides an extra layer of readability to my tests and also makes it easy enough to maintain (Same thing I did with Rest-assured + Selenium framework previously). Also, works like a breeze with GitHub Actions. Btw my test suite has over 100+ API endpoints covered
