pytest-api-coverage
Pytest plugin for API test coverage analysis. Automatically intercepts HTTP requests during test execution, compares them against OpenAPI specifications, and generates detailed coverage reports.
Features
- Automatic HTTP interception — captures requests from
requestsandhttpxlibraries - Swagger/OpenAPI support — works with JSON and YAML specifications (local files or URLs)
- Multiple report formats — JSON, CSV, and HTML reports
- pytest-xdist support — works with parallel test execution
- Origin filtering — filter coverage by base URL or allowlist
- Split by origin — generate separate coverage per API origin
- Async support — intercepts both
requestsandhttpx, including async httpx clients - Multi-spec mode — measure coverage across multiple APIs in a single test run
Installation
Requires Python 3.11+ and pytest 7.0+.
# If your project uses requests
pip install pytest-api-coverage[requests]
# If your project uses httpx
pip install pytest-api-coverage[httpx]
# If your project uses both
pip install pytest-api-coverage[requests,httpx]
See Installation Guide for details.
Quick Start
# Basic usage with local spec file
pytest tests/ --coverage-spec=swagger.json
