Hi, I am new using Katalon Studio and I was trying to send a test request to an API in my local machine but there’s an error in connection.

Request:
HTTP Method: Get
URL: http://localhost:8000/privacypolicy

Warning:
Cannot send the test request.
Reason:
Connection refused: connect
Details:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

I tried using Postman and the URL was working properly, so I tried using a sample API in web “https://reqres.in/api/users/2” and its working. So I think it is because of the localhost. Can someone help me? Thanks!

Hi @giginasobral,
What do you mean by creating a new web service request? Did the issue not happen when you did so?
