Using Codeception what do I use for a Page Object when testing REST APIs

Question

I'm using Codeception to create api tests for some REST API's. I'm finding that the Page Objects are really helpful in writing my tests but should I be using another Codeception object?

For example, I'm putting User information (first name, last name, user ID ...) into a UsersPage Page Object class but it is bothering me that it is named Users Page when it is not representing a page. Is there another Codeception Object I should be using to represent reusable information I'm using in the tests?

Answer 1

I think your concern is reasonable, it's not good to use page object in your case here;

From your description, you want to pass information (namely data/fixture) to your test cases, so I would choose to use fixtures, namely test data, which goes into the _data folder in codeception, load them before tests run.
