Schemathesis
Catch API bugs before your users do.
Schemathesis tests OpenAPI and GraphQL APIs by generating inputs from your schema, adapting to server responses, and chaining operations into realistic workflows.
Finding bugs that manual testing missed
Try it now
# Test a demo API - finds real bugs in 30 seconds
uvx schemathesis run https://example.schemathesis.io/openapi.json
# Test your own API
uvx schemathesis run https://your-api.com/openapi.json
What problems does it solve?
- 💥 500 errors that crash your API on edge case inputs
- 📋 Schema violations where your API returns different data than documented
- 🚪 Validation bypasses where invalid data gets accepted
- 🔗 Integration failures when responses don't match client expectations
- 🔄 Stateful bugs where operations work individually but fail in realistic workflows
⚠️ Upgrading from older versions? Check our Migration Guide for key changes.
Installation & Usage
Command Line:
uv pip install schemathesis
schemathesis run https://your-api.com/openapi.json
Python Tests:
import schemathesis
schema = schemathesis.openapi.from_url("https://your-api.com/openapi.json")
@schema.parametrize()
def test_api(case):
# Tests with random data, edge cases, and invalid inputs
case.call_and_validate()
# Stateful testing: Tests workflows like: create user -> get user -> delete user
APIWorkflow = schema.as_state_machine()
# Creates a test class for pytest/unittest
TestAPI = APIWorkflow.TestCase
CI/CD:
- uses: schemathesis/action@v3
with:
schema: "https://your-api.com/openapi.json"
Who uses it
Used by teams at Spotify, WordPress, JetBrains, Red Hat, and dozens of other companies.
"Schemathesis is the best tool for fuzz testing of REST APIs on the market. We at Red Hat use it for examining our applications in functional and integration testing levels." - Dmitry Misharov, RedHat
