PostWoman

A CLI api tester and request builder, totally not born out of frustration from some other tool...

Why

I'd much rather edit my test routes in my text editor as bare config files and fire them via a CLI than fumble around some GUI application.

Usage

postwoman expects a postwoman.toml collection in your cwd. A different file or path can be specified with the global -c option.

Use postwoman run <filter> to send requests to all routes in current config matching given filter (regex). Use . as filter to run all.

Examples

A collection can be super simple

[route.test]
url = "https://api.alemi.dev/debug"

But more complex options are available

[client]
user_agent = "api-tester@alemi.dev"

[route.debug]
url = "https://api.alemi.dev/debug"
method = "PUT"
headers = ["Content-Type: application/json"]
body = { hello = "world!", success = true }
extract = { type = "body" }

[route.cookie]
url = "https://api.alemi.dev/getcookie"
method = "GET"
headers = [
	"Authorization: Basic ...",
	"Accept: application/json"
]
extract = { type = "header", key = "Set-Cookie" }
