My current Cucumber file looks like this:
Feature: Test Online application Page
Scenario: Visit application home page and test links
Scenario: Visit application Login and Validate login
So now I would like to add few more scenarios may be for API testing in the same file. So i was thinking to create a new Feature for that instead of using the Feature: Test Online application Page. This way i dont need to create a separate feature file for API testing.
Feature: Test Online application Page
Scenario: Visit application home page and test links
Scenario: Visit application Login and Validate login
Feature: Test application API's
Scenario: validate Login API
Is it possible to have multiple features within a single feature file and is that a good practice? I just need to test one API and I will run API tests along with online tests. I will still separate them using @online and @api tags.

Feature file can contain multiple scenarios or scenario outlines. We can write all possible Scenarios of a particular feature in a feature file. By using the keyword "Scenario" or "Scenario Outline", One Scenario can be separated from another.
You can execute multiple scenarios in a single or multiple feature file by tagging Scenarios with common tags or grouping them using the rule keyword and tags. And Later, you can execute the scenarios by using that tag in the Cucumber Runner or Command line.
The extension of the feature file needs to be “. feature”. One can create as many feature files as needed.
Also, a tag which is used for a feature shall be inherited by all its Scenarios and the Scenario Outlines. Tags are placed before a Scenario or a Feature that we want to tag. We can also have multiple tags which are separated by spaces within a line.
It is not possible to have multiple feature inside single feature file. If you create multiple feature inside single feature file, you will get Gherkin Parser exception while running cucumber scenarios. So the answer is NO.
