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#

Workflows#

Capter workflows are YAML files where you write your tests:

# ./capter/health.yml

name: health check
steps:
  - name: check /health
    url: https://fake-api.capter.io/api/health
    assertions:
      - !expect status to_equal 200

The example above is very small and doesn't do much. Have a look at the get started guide to learn how to add more steps, assertions and how to compose advanced requests.

The Capter CLI#

When you run the CLI, it will look for workflows in the .capter/ folder and run them sequentially.
