public static void main(String[] args) {
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",driverPath);
ArrayList cookieList = new ArrayList();
String url = "www.testurl.com/testpath/id";
HashMap headermap = new HashMap<>();
headermap.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
headermap.put(....
HashMap queryParammap = new HashMap<>();
queryParammap.put("id", "12345");
