SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Mockoon CLI streamlines the creation and testing of API proxies and mock servers by enabling full traffic logging and easy configuration, reducing manual setup time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create transparent proxies to real APIs with complete request/response logging.
  • Run mock API servers from disposable or persistent configurations for testing and development.
  • Export transaction logs and configurations for debugging and CI workflows.
  • Use case: verify API behavior under failure modes, perform integration testing in local environments.

Quick Start

Install Mockoon CLI, create a config file, and start the proxy to begin logging traffic.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an API proxy with full traffic logging for local development?▼

Run mock API servers from disposable or persistent configuration files to perform integration testing and verify API behavior under failure modes within your local development environment.

What's the best way to capture and export API request and response logs during integration testing?▼

Use a CLI tool to start a transparent proxy that records complete transaction logs, allowing you to export captured traffic configurations and logs directly into your debugging or CI workflows.

Can I run a mock API server from a configuration file using a command line interface?▼

Yes, you can run mock API servers from disposable or persistent configurations via a command line interface, enabling you to easily simulate API behavior without extensive manual setup.

Does this mock server approach work for testing API failure modes in local environments?▼

Testing API failure modes in local environments is fully supported, allowing you to verify API behavior by configuring mocks and proxies to simulate and log various failure scenarios.

Why use a CLI-driven mock server instead of other tools in the same category for API development?▼

A CLI-driven mock server streamlines API development by enabling fast configuration of proxies and mocks with complete traffic logging, reducing manual setup time compared to other local proxy tools.
