http-loop

Send one HTTP request multiple times or one POST/PUT request with multiples inputs using http-loop.

This is useful if you can't enter data in bulk to your API or you want to test its consistency.

Install

npm install -g http-loop

Usage

http-loop init

This initializes the workspace by creating the following tree:

http-loop/
└── input/
  ├── headers.json
  ├── body.json
  └── params.json

set necessary headers, body, and params in the corresponding files

http-loop [method] [url] [iterations]

This sends the requests and stores the results in a single file in logs/ named after the current time you made the request.

http-loop/
├── input/
|  ├── headers.json
|  ├── body.json
|  └── params.json
└── logs
   ├── ${timestamp}.json
   ├── ${timestamp}.json
   ├── ${timestamp}.json
   ...
