Making Requests

HTTP Methods

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings

api = BerAPI(Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"))

# GET
response = api.get("/users", params={"page": 1})

# POST with JSON
response = api.post("/users", json={"name": "John", "email": "[e-mail]"})

# PUT
response = api.put("/users/1", json={"name": "Jane"})

# PATCH
response = api.patch("/users/1", json={"email": "[e-mail]"})

# DELETE
response = api.delete("/users/1")

# Custom method
response = api.request("OPTIONS", "/users")

Request Options

# Custom headers
response = api.get("/users", headers={"X-Request-ID": "123"})

# Query parameters
response = api.get("/users", params={"page": 1, "limit": 10})

# Custom timeout
response = api.get("/users", timeout=60.0)

Assertions

All assertion methods return self for chaining.

Status Code

response.assert_status(200)           # Exact status
response.assert_status_range(200, 299) # Range
response.assert_2xx()                  # 200-299
response.assert_3xx()                  # 300-399
response.assert_4xx()                  # 400-499
response.assert_5xx()                  # 500-599

Headers

response.assert_header("X-Request-ID", "123")
response.assert_header_exists("X-Rate-Limit")
response.assert_content_type("application/json")

Response Body

response.assert_contains("success")
response.assert_not_contains("error")

JSON

# Assert value at path (supports dot notation)
response.assert_json_path("name", "John")
response.assert_json_path("user.email", "[e-mail]")
response.assert_json_path("items.0.id", 1)

# Assert key exists
response.assert_has_key("id")
response.assert_has_key("user.profile.avatar")

# Assert not empty
response.assert_json_not_empty("name")

# Assert value in list
response.assert_json_in("status", ["active", "pending", "inactive"])

# Assert list response
response.assert_list_not_empty()

Schema Validation

# JSON Schema from dict
response.assert_json_schema({
    "type": "object",
    "required": ["id", "name"],
    "properties": {
        "id": {"type": "integer"},
        "name": {"type": "string"}
    }
})

# JSON Schema from file
response.assert_json_schema("schemas/user.json")

# Auto-generated schema from sample
response.assert_json_schema_from_sample("samples/user_response.json")

OpenAPI Validation

# With spec path
response.assert_openapi("getUser", spec_path="openapi.yaml")

# With configured spec
api = BerAPI(Settings(openapi_spec_path="openapi.yaml"))
api.get("/users/1").assert_openapi("getUser")

Performance

response.assert_response_time(2.0)  # Max 2 seconds

Data Access

# Get entire response as dict
data = response.to_dict()

# Get value with dot notation
user_id = response.get("id")
email = response.get("user.email")
first_item = response.get("items.0")

# Get with default
status = response.get("status", "unknown")

# Get multiple values
values = response.get_all(["id", "name", "email"])

# Access properties
status_code = response.status_code
headers = response.headers
text = response.text
elapsed = response.elapsed

Middleware

Middleware provides a powerful way to intercept and modify requests and responses. It follows the chain of responsibility pattern, allowing you to compose multiple middleware for different concerns.

Why Use Middleware?

• Separation of Concerns - Keep authentication, logging, and other cross-cutting concerns separate from your test logic
• Reusability - Write once, use across all your API tests
• Composability - Stack multiple middleware to build complex behaviors
• Testability - Easy to mock and test individual middleware components

How Middleware Works

Request Flow:  Client -> Middleware1 -> Middleware2 -> Server
Response Flow: Client <- Middleware1 <- Middleware2 <- Server

Each middleware can:

1. Modify requests before they're sent (add headers, transform body, etc.)
2. Modify responses after they're received (parse, validate, transform)
3. Handle errors that occur during the request/response cycle

Built-in Middleware

LoggingMiddleware

Provides structured logging for all HTTP requests and responses.

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings
from berapi.middleware import LoggingMiddleware

api = BerAPI(
    Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"),
    middlewares=[
        LoggingMiddleware(
            log_curl=True,              # Log curl command for reproduction
            log_request_body=True,      # Log request body
            log_response_body=True,     # Log response body
            log_headers=True,           # Log headers
            max_body_length=10000,      # Truncate large bodies
            redact_headers=frozenset({  # Hide sensitive headers
                "authorization",
                "x-api-key",
                "cookie"
            }),
        )
    ]
)

Output Example (JSON format):

{
  "event": "http_request",
  "method": "POST",
  "url": "https://api.example.com/users",
  "headers": {"Authorization": "[REDACTED]", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
  "body": {"name": "John", "email": "[e-mail]"},
  "curl": "curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/users' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{\"name\":\"John\"}'",
  "timestamp": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
}

BearerAuthMiddleware

Automatically adds Bearer token authentication to all requests.

from berapi.middleware import BearerAuthMiddleware

# Static token
api = BerAPI(
    Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"),
    middlewares=[BearerAuthMiddleware(token="your-jwt-token")]
)

# Dynamic token (refreshable)
def get_fresh_token():
    # Fetch from token service, cache, or generate new
    return token_service.get_access_token()

api = BerAPI(
    Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"),
    middlewares=[BearerAuthMiddleware(token=get_fresh_token)]
)

ApiKeyMiddleware

Adds API key authentication via custom header.

from berapi.middleware import ApiKeyMiddleware

# Default header (X-API-Key)
api = BerAPI(
    middlewares=[ApiKeyMiddleware(api_key="your-api-key")]
)

# Custom header name
api = BerAPI(
    middlewares=[ApiKeyMiddleware(
        api_key="your-api-key",
        header_name="X-Custom-Auth",
        prefix="ApiKey "  # Optional prefix
    )]
)

Custom Middleware Examples

Request ID Middleware

Add unique request IDs for tracing:

import uuid
from berapi.middleware import RequestContext, ResponseContext

class RequestIdMiddleware:
    def process_request(self, context: RequestContext) -> RequestContext:
        request_id = str(uuid.uuid4())
        return context.with_header("X-Request-ID", request_id)

    def process_response(self, context: ResponseContext) -> ResponseContext:
        return context

    def on_error(self, error: Exception, context: RequestContext) -> None:
        pass

Timing Middleware

Track and alert on slow requests:

import time
from berapi.middleware import RequestContext, ResponseContext

class TimingMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, warn_threshold: float = 1.0):
        self.warn_threshold = warn_threshold

    def process_request(self, context: RequestContext) -> RequestContext:
        # Store start time in metadata
        return context.with_metadata("start_time", time.time())

    def process_response(self, context: ResponseContext) -> ResponseContext:
        start_time = context.request_context.metadata.get("start_time")
        if start_time:
            elapsed = time.time() - start_time
            if elapsed > self.warn_threshold:
                print(f"SLOW REQUEST: {context.request_context.url} took {elapsed:.2f}s")
        return context

    def on_error(self, error: Exception, context: RequestContext) -> None:
        pass

Response Caching Middleware

Cache responses for repeated requests:

import hashlib
import json
from berapi.middleware import RequestContext, ResponseContext

class CachingMiddleware:
    def __init__(self):
        self._cache = {}

    def _cache_key(self, context: RequestContext) -> str:
        key_data = f"{context.method}:{context.url}:{json.dumps(context.params or {})}"
        return hashlib.md5(key_data.encode()).hexdigest()

    def process_request(self, context: RequestContext) -> RequestContext:
        # Only cache GET requests
        if context.method == "GET":
            cache_key = self._cache_key(context)
            context = context.with_metadata("cache_key", cache_key)
        return context

    def process_response(self, context: ResponseContext) -> ResponseContext:
        cache_key = context.request_context.metadata.get("cache_key")
        if cache_key and context.status_code == 200:
            self._cache[cache_key] = context.response.json()
        return context

    def on_error(self, error: Exception, context: RequestContext) -> None:
        pass

Error Notification Middleware

Send alerts on failures:

class SlackNotificationMiddleware:
    def __init__(self, webhook_url: str, notify_on_status: list[int] = None):
        self.webhook_url = webhook_url
        self.notify_on_status = notify_on_status or [500, 502, 503, 504]

    def process_request(self, context: RequestContext) -> RequestContext:
        return context

    def process_response(self, context: ResponseContext) -> ResponseContext:
        if context.status_code in self.notify_on_status:
            self._send_notification(
                f"API Error: {context.request_context.method} {context.request_context.url} "
                f"returned {context.status_code}"
            )
        return context

    def on_error(self, error: Exception, context: RequestContext) -> None:
        self._send_notification(f"API Exception: {context.url} - {error}")

    def _send_notification(self, message: str):
        import requests
        requests.post(self.webhook_url, json={"text": message})

Middleware Order

Middleware executes in order for requests and reverse order for responses:

api = BerAPI(
    middlewares=[
        LoggingMiddleware(),      # 1st for request, 3rd for response
        BearerAuthMiddleware(),   # 2nd for request, 2nd for response
        TimingMiddleware(),       # 3rd for request, 1st for response
    ]
)

Adding Middleware Dynamically

api = BerAPI(Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"))

# Add middleware after creation
api.add_middleware(LoggingMiddleware())
api.add_middleware(BearerAuthMiddleware(token="token"))

# Middleware is added to the end of the chain

---

Retry and Backoff

BerAPI includes built-in retry functionality with exponential backoff to handle transient failures gracefully.

Why Use Retry?

• Handle Transient Failures - Network glitches, temporary server issues
• Rate Limiting - Automatically retry after rate limit responses (429)
• Improved Reliability - Tests don't fail due to temporary issues
• Server Recovery - Wait for overwhelmed servers to recover

How Exponential Backoff Works

Exponential backoff increases the delay between retries exponentially:

Attempt 1: Immediate
Attempt 2: Wait 0.5s  (backoff_factor * 2^0)
Attempt 3: Wait 1.0s  (backoff_factor * 2^1)
Attempt 4: Wait 2.0s  (backoff_factor * 2^2)
...

With jitter (randomness), delays are varied to prevent thundering herd:

Attempt 2: Wait 0.25s - 0.75s (50% - 150% of calculated delay)

Configuration

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings, RetrySettings

api = BerAPI(Settings(
    base_url="https://api.example.com",
    retry=RetrySettings(
        enabled=True,           # Enable/disable retry
        max_retries=3,          # Maximum retry attempts
        backoff_factor=0.5,     # Base delay multiplier
        backoff_max=60.0,       # Maximum delay cap (seconds)
        jitter=True,            # Add randomness to delays
        retry_statuses=frozenset({  # Status codes to retry
            429,  # Too Many Requests
            500,  # Internal Server Error
            502,  # Bad Gateway
            503,  # Service Unavailable
            504,  # Gateway Timeout
        }),
    ),
))

Use Cases

Rate Limiting (429 Too Many Requests)

# API returns 429 when rate limited
# BerAPI automatically waits and retries

api = BerAPI(Settings(
    base_url="https://api.example.com",
    retry=RetrySettings(
        enabled=True,
        max_retries=5,
        backoff_factor=1.0,  # Start with 1 second delay
        retry_statuses=frozenset({429}),
    ),
))

# This will retry up to 5 times if rate limited
response = api.get("/high-traffic-endpoint").assert_2xx()

Flaky Services

# Handle unreliable third-party services
api = BerAPI(Settings(
    base_url="https://flaky-service.example.com",
    retry=RetrySettings(
        enabled=True,
        max_retries=3,
        backoff_factor=0.5,
        retry_statuses=frozenset({500, 502, 503, 504}),
    ),
))

Load Testing Resilience

# During load tests, services may temporarily fail
api = BerAPI(Settings(
    retry=RetrySettings(
        enabled=True,
        max_retries=2,
        backoff_factor=0.25,  # Quick retries
        jitter=True,          # Prevent synchronized retries
    ),
))

Handling Retry Exhaustion

from berapi.exceptions import RetryExhaustedError

api = BerAPI(Settings(
    retry=RetrySettings(enabled=True, max_retries=3),
))

try:
    response = api.get("/unreliable-endpoint").assert_2xx()
except RetryExhaustedError as e:
    print(f"Failed after {e.attempts} attempts")
    print(f"Last error: {e.last_error}")
    # Handle permanent failure

Disabling Retry for Specific Tests

# Global retry enabled
api = BerAPI(Settings(
    retry=RetrySettings(enabled=True, max_retries=3),
))

# Disable for specific test by creating new client
api_no_retry = api.with_settings(retry={"enabled": False})
response = api_no_retry.get("/endpoint-that-should-not-retry")

Retry Timing Examples

With backoff_factor=0.5 and max_retries=4:

Attempt	Delay (no jitter)	Delay (with jitter)
1	0s (immediate)	0s
2	0.5s	0.25s - 0.75s
3	1.0s	0.5s - 1.5s
4	2.0s	1.0s - 3.0s
5	4.0s	2.0s - 6.0s

OpenAPI Validation

Validate your API responses against OpenAPI (Swagger) specifications to ensure contract compliance.

Why Use OpenAPI Validation?

• Contract Testing - Ensure API responses match documented specification
• Regression Detection - Catch breaking changes early
• Documentation Accuracy - Verify docs match implementation
• Type Safety - Validate response data types automatically
• Schema Evolution - Detect unintended schema changes

Setup

1. Provide OpenAPI Spec

Create or use your existing OpenAPI specification (YAML or JSON):

# openapi.yaml
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  title: User API
  version: 1.0.0
paths:
  /users/{id}:
    get:
      operationId: getUser
      parameters:
        - name: id
          in: path
          required: true
          schema:
            type: integer
      responses:
        '200':
          description: User found
          content:
            application/json:
              schema:
                $ref: '#/components/schemas/User'
        '404':
          description: User not found

components:
  schemas:
    User:
      type: object
      required:
        - id
        - name
        - email
      properties:
        id:
          type: integer
        name:
          type: string
        email:
          type: string
          format: email
        createdAt:
          type: string
          format: date-time

2. Configure BerAPI

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings

# Option 1: Configure in Settings
api = BerAPI(Settings(
    base_url="https://api.example.com",
    openapi_spec_path="openapi.yaml",
))

# Option 2: Specify per assertion
api = BerAPI(Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"))
response.assert_openapi("getUser", spec_path="openapi.yaml")

Basic Usage

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings

api = BerAPI(Settings(
    base_url="https://api.example.com",
    openapi_spec_path="specs/openapi.yaml",
))

# Validate response matches OpenAPI spec for "getUser" operation
response = (
    api.get("/users/1")
    .assert_2xx()
    .assert_openapi("getUser")  # Validates against spec
)

Use Cases

Contract Testing

Ensure your API implementation matches the documented contract:

import pytest
from berapi import BerAPI, Settings

@pytest.fixture
def api():
    return BerAPI(Settings(
        base_url="https://api.example.com",
        openapi_spec_path="openapi.yaml",
    ))

class TestUserAPIContract:
    def test_get_user_matches_spec(self, api):
        """Verify GET /users/{id} matches OpenAPI spec."""
        response = (
            api.get("/users/1")
            .assert_2xx()
            .assert_openapi("getUser")
        )

    def test_create_user_matches_spec(self, api):
        """Verify POST /users matches OpenAPI spec."""
        response = (
            api.post("/users", json={
                "name": "John Doe",
                "email": "[e-mail]"
            })
            .assert_status(201)
            .assert_openapi("createUser")
        )

    def test_list_users_matches_spec(self, api):
        """Verify GET /users matches OpenAPI spec."""
        response = (
            api.get("/users")
            .assert_2xx()
            .assert_openapi("listUsers")
        )

Regression Testing

Detect breaking changes when API is updated:

def test_user_schema_unchanged(api):
    """Ensure user schema hasn't changed unexpectedly."""
    response = api.get("/users/1").assert_2xx()

    # OpenAPI validation catches:
    # - Missing required fields
    # - Wrong data types
    # - Invalid enum values
    # - Format violations (email, date-time, etc.)
    response.assert_openapi("getUser")

Multi-Environment Validation

Validate different environments against the same spec:

import pytest
from berapi import BerAPI, Settings

@pytest.fixture(params=["dev", "staging", "prod"])
def api(request):
    base_urls = {
        "dev": "https://dev-api.example.com",
        "staging": "https://staging-api.example.com",
        "prod": "https://api.example.com",
    }
    return BerAPI(Settings(
        base_url=base_urls[request.param],
        openapi_spec_path="openapi.yaml",
    ))

def test_all_environments_match_spec(api):
    """All environments should match the API contract."""
    response = api.get("/users/1").assert_2xx().assert_openapi("getUser")

Error Handling

from berapi.exceptions import OpenAPIError

try:
    response = api.get("/users/1").assert_openapi("getUser")
except OpenAPIError as e:
    print(f"Validation failed for operation: {e.operation_id}")
    print(f"Errors:")
    for error in e.errors:
        print(f"  - {error}")

Example Error Output:

OpenAPI validation failed:
  - Response body validation failed: 'email' is a required property
  - Content-Type 'text/plain' not in allowed types ['application/json']

Combining with JSON Schema

You can use both OpenAPI validation and JSON Schema for comprehensive validation:

response = (
    api.get("/users/1")
    .assert_2xx()
    .assert_openapi("getUser")           # Validate against OpenAPI spec
    .assert_json_schema({                 # Additional custom validation
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "email": {"pattern": "^[a-z]+@example\\.com$"}  # Custom pattern
        }
    })
)

Best Practices

1. Keep specs in version control - Track changes to your API contract
2. Use operationId - Give each operation a unique, descriptive ID
3. Validate on CI/CD - Run contract tests in your pipeline
4. Test error responses - Validate 4xx/5xx responses too
5. Update specs first - Change spec before implementation (contract-first)

# Test error response schema
def test_not_found_matches_spec(api):
    response = api.get("/users/99999").assert_4xx().assert_openapi("getUser")

def test_validation_error_matches_spec(api):
    response = (
        api.post("/users", json={"invalid": "data"})
        .assert_status(422)
        .assert_openapi("createUser")
    )

Request/Response Tracking

BerAPI includes built-in request/response tracking for debugging and integration with pytest-html reports. When tests fail, you can see exactly what API calls were made and what responses were received.

Why Use Tracking?

• Debug Failed Tests - See exact request/response details when tests fail
• pytest-html Integration - Automatic HTML reports with API call details
• Sensitive Data Masking - Hide authorization tokens in reports
• Multiple Requests - Track all API calls in a single test

Quick Setup

The easiest way to enable tracking is with the pytest plugin:

# conftest.py
pytest_plugins = ["berapi.contrib.pytest_plugin"]

from berapi.contrib.pytest_plugin import create_tracking_client
import pytest

@pytest.fixture
def api():
    return create_tracking_client(
        base_url="https://api.example.com",
        mask_headers=["Authorization", "X-Api-Key"],  # Hide sensitive headers
    )

# test_api.py
def test_user_api(api):
    # All requests are automatically tracked
    response = api.get("/users/1").assert_2xx()

    # If this fails, the HTML report will show:
    # - Request URL, method, headers, body
    # - Response status, headers, body
    # - Response time
    assert response.get("name") == "Expected Name"

Run with pytest-html:

pytest --html=report.html

pytest-html Integration

The tracking plugin automatically adds request/response details to pytest-html reports:

1. Passed tests - No extra information shown
2. Failed tests - Click to expand and see:
   • Full request URL and method
   • Request headers (with sensitive values masked)
   • Request body (JSON formatted)
   • Response status code (color-coded: green/yellow/red)
   • Response headers
   • Full response body (JSON formatted)
   • Response time

Configuration Options

from berapi.contrib.pytest_plugin import create_tracking_client, configure_tracking

# Configure global tracking behavior
configure_tracking(
    track_only_failures=True,   # Only show tracking on failed tests (default)
    max_requests=10,            # Max requests to track per test
    mask_headers=["Authorization", "X-Api-Key"],
)

@pytest.fixture
def api():
    return create_tracking_client(
        base_url="https://api.example.com",
        headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
        timeout=30.0,
        mask_headers=["Authorization"],  # Override global setting
        max_requests=20,                 # Override global setting
    )

Track All Tests (Not Just Failures)

# conftest.py
from berapi.contrib.pytest_plugin import configure_tracking

configure_tracking(track_only_failures=False)

Manual Tracking

You can also use tracking middleware manually without the pytest plugin:

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings
from berapi.middleware import TrackingMiddleware, RequestTracker

# Create a tracker
tracker = RequestTracker(
    max_requests=10,
    mask_headers=["Authorization"],
)

# Create middleware with tracker
middleware = TrackingMiddleware(tracker)

# Create client with tracking
api = BerAPI(
    Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"),
    middlewares=[middleware],
)

# Make requests - they're automatically tracked
api.get("/users/1").assert_2xx()
api.post("/users", json={"name": "John"}).assert_2xx()

# Access tracked data
print(f"Tracked {len(tracker)} requests")

# Generate HTML report
html = tracker.to_html()
print(html)

# Clear tracking
tracker.clear()

Combining with Other Middleware

Tracking middleware works alongside other middleware:

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings
from berapi.middleware import (
    LoggingMiddleware,
    BearerAuthMiddleware,
    TrackingMiddleware,
    RequestTracker,
)

tracker = RequestTracker()

api = BerAPI(
    Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"),
    middlewares=[
        LoggingMiddleware(),                    # Log to console
        BearerAuthMiddleware(token="secret"),   # Add auth header
        TrackingMiddleware(tracker),            # Track for reports
    ],
)

Error Handling

from berapi import BerAPI, Settings
from berapi.exceptions import (
    StatusCodeError,
    JsonPathError,
    TimeoutError,
    RetryExhaustedError,
)

api = BerAPI(Settings(base_url="https://api.example.com"))

try:
    response = api.get("/users/1").assert_2xx()
except StatusCodeError as e:
    print(f"Expected {e.expected}, got {e.actual}")
except JsonPathError as e:
    print(f"Path {e.path}: expected {e.expected}, got {e.actual}")
except TimeoutError as e:
    print(f"Request timed out after {e.timeout}s")
except RetryExhaustedError as e:
    print(f"Failed after {e.attempts} attempts: {e.last_error}")
