# API Tester - Test Any API Endpoint
## Setup
Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
```bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
```
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: `npx gooseworks login`Overview
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

API Tester - Test Any API Endpoint
Setup
Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login
All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"
Test API endpoints, validate responses, and generate documentation examples.
Workflow
Step 1: Test GET Endpoints
Make GET requests to test endpoints:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":{"url":"https://api.example.com/health"}}'
Step 2: Test POST Endpoints
Test POST requests by fetching API docs:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
"website_url": "https://api.example.com/docs",
"user_prompt": "Extract all API endpoints, methods, parameters, and example responses"
}'
Step 3: Get API Documentation
Fetch and parse API docs:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/markdownify","body":{"website_url":"https://api.example.com/docs"}}'
Step 4: Validate Response Schema
Check response structure:
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"riveter","path":"/v1/run"}'
"url": "https://api.example.com/endpoint",
"schema": {
"id": "string",
"name": "string",
"created_at": "string"
}
}'
Example Usage
# Extract API spec from docs
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
"website_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/api",
"user_prompt": "Extract API authentication methods and example curl commands"
}'
# Fetch API page
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":{"url":"https://api.openai.com/v1/models"}}'
Tips
- Test both happy paths and error cases
- Verify response schemas match documentation
- Check rate limits and authentication
- Document any discrepancies found

-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt":"linkup API endpoints"}' api show riveter
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"prompt":"scrapegraph API endpoints"}'
Example: `curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/details \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"olostep","path":"/v1/scrapes`"}' for endpoint parameters.
