ReqFlow 1.0.1a0

A streamlined Python library for crafting HTTP requests and testing API

ReqFlow

ReqFlow is a Python library designed for efficient and intuitive API testing. ReqFlow offers a fluent and flexible interface for crafting and validating HTTP requests, making API testing both straightforward and adaptable. While it make sense to use standard approaches for a Python API testing, ReqFlow reduces the entry barrier for beginners and allows for more advanced use cases with RestAssured-like approach.

Features

• Fluent API for building and sending HTTP requests.
• Supports response handling and validations.
• Customizable response validation using PyDantic models.
• Convenient utility methods for common assertions and response manipulations.

The tool is still in development, braking changes are possible. Any feedback and contributions are highly appreciated.

Installation

Install ReqFlow using pip:

pip install reqflow

Quick Start

from reqflow import given, Client
from pydantic import BaseModel


# Define a Pydantic model for response validation
class ExampleModel(BaseModel):
    name: str
    value: int


# Initialize the client
client = Client(base_url="https://api.example.com")

# Use ReqFlow's fluent API
response = (given(client)
            .header("Authorization", "Bearer your_token")
            .query_param("param", "value")
            .when("GET", "/your_endpoint")
            .then()
            .validate_data(ExampleModel)
            .status_code(200)
            .get_content())

print(response)
