Strest is a CLI tool for testing REST APIs using declarative YAML test files. It supports chaining requests (e.g., reusing auth tokens from prior responses) and is designed to run in CI pipelines.

Use cases

  • test rest api endpoints from yaml files
  • run api tests in ci pipeline
  • chain http requests reusing login tokens
  • declarative integration tests for rest apis
  • run multiple api test files from a directory
  • validate api responses without writing code

When to choose

  • you want code-free, YAML-configured REST API tests
  • you need CI-ready API testing with simple setup
  • you want to chain requests like login-then-authenticated-calls

When to avoid

  • you need GraphQL, gRPC, or non-REST protocol testing
  • you need a maintained tool - the latest release is from 2020
  • you need complex test logic beyond YAML declarative syntax
