Collections¶
Servers¶
You can define multiple servers for different environments such as development, staging, or production.
servers:
- url: http://localhost:3000/api/v1
name: development
description: Development server
- url: http://example.com/api/v1
name: staging
description: Staging server
Variables¶
You can define global or environment-specific (local) variables.
Global Variables¶
variables:
key: key_value # Global variable
Local Variables (Per Environment)¶
You can define variables scoped to specific environments.
variables:
development:
token: key_value # Local variable, available only for the development environment
To access variables, use this syntax:
paths:
- endpoint: /posts
name: getPosts
auth:
type: bearer
token: "{{token}}"
Headers¶
To define request headers (such as Content-Type
), you can configure them per path.
paths:
- endpoint: /posts
name: getPosts
headers:
Content-Type: application/json
# Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authentication¶
You can define authentication for each endpoint as follows:
Bearer Token¶
paths:
- endpoint: /posts
name: getPosts
auth:
type: bearer
token: "{{token}}"
Basic Auth¶
paths:
- endpoint: /posts
name: getPosts
auth:
type: basic
username: "{{username}}"
password: "{{password}}"
API Key (Header)¶
paths:
- endpoint: /posts
name: getPosts
auth:
type: apikey
api_key: abc123
api_key_header: X-API-Key
This will send the header:
X-API-Key: abc123
You can customize the header name using api_key_header
.
Digest Authentication¶
paths:
- endpoint: /posts
name: getPosts
auth:
type: digest
username: admin
password: secret
Multipart Form Data¶
To send multipart/form-data
(typically for file upload), define the body
fields and file paths:
paths:
- endpoint: /upload
name: upload
method: POST
headers:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data
body:
title: lorem
file: "./path/file.png"
headers.Content-Type
: Should be set tomultipart/form-data
to indicate file upload.body
: Key-value pairs to be sent. For file fields, use a relative or absolute path to the file.
Note: Files are automatically detected if the value is a valid path to a local file.
