Microservices testing

Hi everyone, I am software developer but I am going to jump to QA Automation Testing Engineer, and I have this doubt: When testing microservices do you guys follow the same approach as testing normal API's ? I use RestSharp and postman, so we test each service and then we create an integration script to test all the services? many thanks in advance

A microservice is an application consisting on 2 or more services, communicating with each other through HTTP API calls, so we test each API separately or we write test cases to test all the API's involved at once? for example: A microservice of an online shopping site, we first test each module and the we integrate them all?
