Capter CLI

Capter is a lightweight end-to-end testing tool for APIs. It's language agnostic and can test APIs written in any language (Node.js, Go etc).

• 🧑‍💻 Write tests in YAML
• 🔎 Run the same tests locally, in CI, or as a cron job to monitor your live APIs
• 🏃‍♂️ Takes less than a minute to get started

How it works:

Create a workflow file in a .capter folder:

# .capter/products.yml

name: products
steps:
  - name: fetch all products
    id: products
    url: ${{ env.URL }}/api/products
    assertions:
      - !expect status to_equal 200
      - !expect body to_be_array

  - name: fetch first product
    url: ${{ env.URL }}/api/posts/${{ products.response.body.0.id }}
    assertions:
      - !expect body.id to_equal ${{ products.response.body.0.id }}

Then run the CLI:

URL=http://localhost:3000 capter test
