It is not recommended to use Selenium for testing APIs.
Reasons are as follows:-
Selenium is used to automate browsers, so it operates on the user interface level of an application.
The actions performed on a user interface might invoke API calls. Selenium is completely oblivious to this API interaction, however.
Also, Selenium is not a performance test tool.
There is no way to have Selenium interact with APIs directly.
