Octrafic

Test your APIs in plain English, straight from the terminal

Website octrafic.com
Overview

What it is

Octrafic is an open-source CLI for API testing. Point it at any OpenAPI spec or live endpoint, describe what you want to test in plain English, and let it handle the rest - from generating requests to validating responses and exporting a PDF report. No test scripts, no GUI, no mocks. Just a single binary. Works with OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible provider

Intent

I need it when

Automate API testing in CI/CD pipelines

Octrafic runs in headless mode with exit codes, integrating seamlessly into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins. Teams can catch API regressions on every commit without maintaining complex test frameworks.

Replace heavy GUI tools with a lightweight terminal-first testing solution

Octrafic is a single Go binary with no runtime dependencies, working on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It provides a lightweight Postman alternative for developers who work in the terminal.

Test REST APIs quickly without writing test code

Octrafic lets developers describe API tests in plain English from the terminal. The AI agent automatically generates test scenarios, executes HTTP requests, validates responses, and exports PDF reports—eliminating boilerplate and reducing testing time.

Test APIs without coding experience

QA engineers and non-technical team members can describe what to test in natural language commands. Octrafic handles endpoint discovery, request generation, and validation automatically.

Validate that APIs match their OpenAPI specifications

Octrafic automatically scans codebases to generate OpenAPI specs and validates live API responses against schema definitions, catching response mismatches and data type errors before production.

Not a fit when

  • User requires a GUI-based API testing tool and prefers not to use terminal/CLI interfaces
  • User needs built-in LLM access without managing their own API keys and provider accounts
  • User tests SOAP APIs or non-HTTP protocols exclusively
  • User requires enterprise support, SLAs, or commercial licensing agreements
  • User needs offline API testing without internet connectivity to LLM providers

Pricing

Free and open source. Users bring their own LLM API key (OpenAI, Anthropic, or compatible providers).
