Zapy REST Client - SDK

Zapy REST Client is an extension for VSCode that serves as a tool for testing APIs. The accompanying Zapy SDK, a Python library, is an integral component that enables the utilization of Zapy request files, empowering the client and Python scripts to perform API operations. The primary goal is to streamline the process of API testing.

Requirements

Python 3.11+

For using the VSCode extension:

• Python virtual environment
• Zapy SDK
• VSCode

Usage

1. Install Zapy VSCode Extension.

2. Install the python library under a virtual environment.

   pip install zapy-sdk
   

3. Create a .zapy file, for example my_first_request.zapy.

4. Start the Zapy server.

5. Send your request 🚀.

Requests

Create requests visually using the Zapy VSCode Extension.

Stores

Stores enable the persistence and inspection of Python data for use in multiple requests, including the creation and management of environment variables.

Hooks

Hooks can be global or request-specific, allowing interception and modification of requests, such as for authentication.

from zapy.requests import hooks, HttpxArguments

@hooks.pre_request
async def on_each_request(httpx_args: HttpxArguments):
    httpx_args['auth'] = ('alice', 'ecila123')
    print(httpx_args)

Chaining

Chaining runs a sequence of requests with one click, using responses from one request in the next. It also offers the ability to use conditionals or to resume from a failed step.

Integration test

Requests and their tests can be invoked directly on your integration tests.

import pytest
from zapy import requests

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_single():
    request = requests.from_path("request1.zapy")
    # if raise_assert is enabled, it will perform all assertions defined in the request file
    _ = await request.send(raise_assert=True)

Privacy

Data for authentication is collected when using Zapy VSCode Extension. No personal or request data is collected.
