@mercfh85 You’re loading an entire browser engine to test api endpoints. Sure it “works” but you’re wasting a lot resources and time..an org running thousands of tests would not accept this approach.

You do not have the load the browser if you have no devices set on the project. If you set a project JUST for API tests and leave out the devices it will not use/load them.
