API tester integrated with betteruptime incidents & hearbeat monitoring

Usage

Create a `config.json`` file and fill in the required info:

{
  "betteruptime": {
    "create_incident": true, // enable automatic incident creation in betterstack
    "create_grouped_incident": false, // if true this will create a single incident foor all teste api's and controllers (not implemented)
    "token": "$AUTH_TOKEN",
    "heartbeat": "$HEARTBEAT_ID",
    "incident_options": { // default options for the created incident(s)
      "name": "API Test ERROR!",
      "requester_email": "$USER_EMAIL",
      "email": true,
      "team_wait": 300
    }
  }
}

Create a configs folder in which you can create a config per api, example ./configs/pcm-v4-api.json

{
  "name": "example-api-v1",
  "base_url": "https://api.example.com/v1",
  "request_jwt": {
    "endpoint": ""
  },
  "default_options": {
    "check_data": true,
    "check_status": "success",
    "check_status_code": 200,
    "check_checksum": true, // check if result contains property checksum or data.checksum and resends the request with provided checksum in querystring, the result should be 204
    "authorization_header": ""
  },
  "controllers": {
    "data/attributes": {
      "check_length": 200,
      "check_execution_time": 100,
      "check_object_name": "attributes",
      "check_object_properties": [
        "id",
        "attribute",
        "group",
        "name",
        "name.nl",
        "name.fr"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Expected API result

By default we expect the followinf results from the API:

{
  "status": "success",
  "code": 200,
  "data": {
    // properties
    "length": 1, // amount of items in first property (optional)
    "checksum": "controlchecksum" // (optional)
  },
  "executionTime": 13.83924729432 // execution time of backend code in miliseconds (optional)
}

data can also be aan array, in which case the length will be based on the array length of data.
Other response formats are also supported but will have to be declared in full, example in config (not yet implemented):

{
  "name": ...,
  "controllers": {
    "controller-name": {
      ...,
      "check_response_body": {
        "properties": {
          "name_of_property": {
            "type": "string",
            "expect_exact_value": "value_to_expect"
          },
          "name_of_optional_property": {
            "type": "number",
            "optional": true,
            "expect_min_value": 10,
            "expect_max_value": 100
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
