# What's Hurl?
Hurl is a command line tool that runs <b>HTTP requests</b> defined in a simple <b>plain text format</b>.
It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very
versatile: it can be used for both <b>fetching data</b> and <b>testing HTTP</b> sessions.
Hurl makes it easy to work with <b>HTML</b> content, <b>REST / SOAP / GraphQL</b> APIs, or any other <b>XML / JSON</b> based APIs.
```hurl
# Get home:
GET https://example.org
HTTP 200
[Captures]
csrf_token: xpath "string(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)"
# Do login!
POST https://example.org/login?user=toto&password=1234
X-CSRF-TOKEN: {{csrf_token}}
HTTP 302
```
Chaining multiple requests is easy:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/api/health
GET https://example.org/api/step1
GET https://example.org/api/step2
GET https://example.org/api/step3
```
# Also an HTTP Test Tool
Hurl can run HTTP requests but can also be used to <b>test HTTP responses</b>.
Different types of queries and predicates are supported, from [XPath] and [JSONPath] on body response,
to assert on status code and response headers.
<a href="https://hurl.dev/player.html?id=hurl&speed=3"><img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Orange-OpenSource/hurl/master/docs/assets/img/poster-hurl.png" width="100%" alt="Hurl Demo"/></a>
It is well adapted for <b>REST / JSON APIs</b>
```hurl
POST https://example.org/api/tests
{
"id": "4568",
"evaluate": true
}
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
header "X-Frame-Options" == "SAMEORIGIN"
jsonpath "$.status" == "RUNNING" # Check the status code
jsonpath "$.tests" count == 25 # Check the number of items
jsonpath "$.id" matches /\d{4}/ # Check the format of the id
```
<b>HTML content</b>
```hurl
GET https://example.org
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
xpath "normalize-space(//head/title)" == "Hello world!"
```
<b>GraphQL</b>
~~~hurl
POST https://example.org/graphql
```graphql
{
human(id: "1000") {
name
height(unit: FOOT)
}
}
```
HTTP 200
~~~
and even <b>SOAP APIs</b>
```hurl
POST https://example.org/InStock
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:m="https://example.org">
<soap:Header></soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<m:GetStockPrice>
<m:StockName>GOOG</m:StockName>
</m:GetStockPrice>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
HTTP 200
```
Hurl can also be used to performance test HTTP endpoints:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/api/v1/pets
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
duration < 1000 # Duration in ms
```
And response bytes
```hurl
GET https://example.org/data.tar.gz
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
sha256 == hex,039058c6f2c0cb492c533b0a4d14ef77cc0f78abccced5287d84a1a2011cfb81;
```
# Why Hurl?
<ul class="showcase-container">
<li><b>Text Format:</b> for both devops and developers</li>
<li><b>Fast CLI:</b> a command line for local dev and continuous integration</li>
<li><b>Single Binary:</b> easy to install, with no runtime required</li>
</ul>
# Powered by curl
Hurl is a lightweight binary written in [Rust]. Under the hood, Hurl HTTP engine is
powered by [libcurl], one of the most powerful and reliable file transfer libraries.
With its text file format, Hurl adds syntactic sugar to run and test HTTP requests,
but it's still the [curl] that we love.
# Feedbacks
[Feedback, suggestion, bugs or improvements] are welcome!
```hurl
POST https://hurl.dev/api/feedback
{
"name": "John Doe",
"feedback": "Hurl is awesome !"
}
HTTP 200
```

# Samples
To run a sample, edit a file with the sample content, and run Hurl:
```shell
$ vi sample.hurl
GET https://example.org
$ hurl sample.hurl
```
By default, Hurl behaves like [curl] and outputs the last HTTP response's [entry]. To have a test
oriented output, you can use [`--test` option]:
```shell
$ hurl --test sample.hurl
```
You can check [Hurl tests suite] for more samples.
## Getting Data
A simple GET:
```hurl
GET https://example.org
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#method)
### HTTP Headers
A simple GET with headers:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/news
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate, br
Connection: keep-alive
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#headers)
### Query Params
```hurl
GET https://example.org/news
[QueryStringParams]
order: newest
search: something to search
count: 100
```
Or:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/news?order=newest&search=something%20to%20search&count=100
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#query-parameters)
### Basic Authentication
```hurl
GET https://example.org/protected
[BasicAuth]
bob: secret
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#basic-authentication)
This is equivalent to construct the request with a [Authorization] header:
```hurl
# Authorization header value can be computed with `echo -n 'bob:secret' | base64`
GET https://example.org/protected
Authorization: Basic Ym9iOnNlY3JldA==
```
Basic authentication allows per request authentication.
If you want to add basic authentication to all the requests of a Hurl file
you could use [`-u/--user` option].
## Sending Data
### Sending HTML Form Data
```hurl
POST https://example.org/contact
[FormParams]
default: false
token: {{token}}
email: john.doe@rookie.org
number: 33611223344
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#form-parameters)
### Sending Multipart Form Data
```hurl
POST https://example.org/upload
[MultipartFormData]
field1: value1
field2: file,example.txt;
# One can specify the file content type:
field3: file,example.zip; application/zip
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#multipart-form-data)
### Posting a JSON Body
With an inline JSON:
```hurl
POST https://example.org/api/tests
{
"id": "456",
"evaluate": true
}
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#json-body)
With a local file:
```hurl
POST https://example.org/api/tests
Content-Type: application/json
file,data.json;
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#file-body)
### Templating a JSON Body
```hurl
PUT https://example.org/api/hits
Content-Type: application/json
{
"key0": "{{a_string}}",
"key1": {{a_bool}},
"key2": {{a_null}},
"key3": {{a_number}}
}
```
Variables can be initialized via command line:
```shell
$ hurl --variable a_string=apple \
--variable a_bool=true \
--variable a_null=null \
--variable a_number=42 \
test.hurl
```
Resulting in a PUT request with the following JSON body:
```
{
"key0": "apple",
"key1": true,
"key2": null,
"key3": 42
}
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/templates.html)
### Templating a XML Body
Using templates with [XML body] is not currently supported in Hurl. You can use templates in
[XML multiline string body] with variables to send a variable XML body:
~~~hurl
POST https://example.org/echo/post/xml
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Request>
<Login>{{login}}</Login>
<Password>{{password}}</Password>
</Request>
```
~~~
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#multiline-string-body)
### Using GraphQL Query
A simple GraphQL query:
~~~hurl
POST https://example.org/starwars/graphql
```graphql
{
human(id: "1000") {
name
height(unit: FOOT)
}
}
```
~~~
A GraphQL query with variables:
~~~hurl
POST https://example.org/starwars/graphql
```graphql
query Hero($episode: Episode, $withFriends: Boolean!) {
hero(episode: $episode) {
name
friends @include(if: $withFriends) {
name
}
}
}
variables {
"episode": "JEDI",
"withFriends": false
}
```
~~~
GraphQL queries can also use [Hurl templates].
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/request.html#graphql-body)
## Testing Response
### Testing Response Headers
Use implicit response asserts to test header values:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/index.html
HTTP 200
Set-Cookie: theme=light
Set-Cookie: sessionToken=abc123; Expires=Wed, 09 Jun 2021 10:18:14 GMT
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#headers)
Or use explicit response asserts with [predicates]:
```hurl
GET https://example.org
HTTP 302
[Asserts]
header "Location" contains "www.example.net"
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#header-assert)
### Testing REST APIs
Asserting JSON body response (node values, collection count etc...) with [JSONPath]:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/order
screencapability: low
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
jsonpath "$.validated" == true
jsonpath "$.userInfo.firstName" == "Franck"
jsonpath "$.userInfo.lastName" == "Herbert"
jsonpath "$.hasDevice" == false
jsonpath "$.links" count == 12
jsonpath "$.state" != null
jsonpath "$.order" matches "^order-\\d{8}$"
jsonpath "$.order" matches /^order-\d{8}$/ # Alternative syntax with regex literal
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#jsonpath-assert)
Testing status code:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/order/435
HTTP 200
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#version-status)
```hurl
GET https://example.org/order/435
# Testing status code is in a 200-300 range
HTTP *
[Asserts]
status >= 200
status < 300
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#status-assert)
### Testing HTML Response
```hurl
GET https://example.org
HTTP 200
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
[Asserts]
xpath "string(/html/head/title)" contains "Example" # Check title
xpath "count(//p)" == 2 # Check the number of p
xpath "//p" count == 2 # Similar assert for p
xpath "boolean(count(//h2))" == false # Check there is no h2
xpath "//h2" not exists # Similar assert for h2
xpath "string(//div[1])" matches /Hello.*/
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#xpath-assert)
### Testing Set-Cookie Attributes
```hurl
GET http://myserver.com/home
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
cookie "JSESSIONID" == "8400BAFE2F66443613DC38AE3D9D6239"
cookie "JSESSIONID[Value]" == "8400BAFE2F66443613DC38AE3D9D6239"
cookie "JSESSIONID[Expires]" contains "Wed, 13 Jan 2021"
cookie "JSESSIONID[Secure]" exists
cookie "JSESSIONID[HttpOnly]" exists
cookie "JSESSIONID[SameSite]" == "Lax"
```
[Doc](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html#cookie-assert)
### Testing Bytes Content
Check the SHA-256 response body hash:
```hurl
GET https://example.org/data.tar.gz
HTTP 200
[Asserts]
sha256 == hex,039058c6f2c0cb492c533b0a4d14ef77cc0f78abccced5287d84a1a2011cfb81;
```

# Manual
## Name
hurl - run and test HTTP requests.
## Synopsis
**hurl** [options] [FILE...]
## Description
**Hurl** is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.
It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile, it can be used for fetching data and testing HTTP sessions: HTML content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.
```shell
$ hurl session.hurl
```
If no input files are specified, input is read from stdin.
```shell
$ echo GET http://httpbin.org/get | hurl
{
"args": {},
"headers": {
"Accept": "*/*",
"Accept-Encoding": "gzip",
"Content-Length": "0",
"Host": "httpbin.org",
"User-Agent": "hurl/0.99.10",
"X-Amzn-Trace-Id": "Root=1-5eedf4c7-520814d64e2f9249ea44e0"
},
"origin": "1.2.3.4",
"url": "http://httpbin.org/get"
}
```
Output goes to stdout by default. To have output go to a file, use the [`-o, --output`](#output) option:
```shell
$ hurl -o output input.hurl
```
By default, Hurl executes all HTTP requests and outputs the response body of the last HTTP call.
To have a test oriented output, you can use [`--test`](#test) option:
```shell
$ hurl --test *.hurl
```
## Hurl File Format
The Hurl file format is fully documented in [https://hurl.dev/docs/hurl-file.html](https://hurl.dev/docs/hurl-file.html)
It consists of one or several HTTP requests
```hurl
GET http:/example.org/endpoint1
GET http:/example.org/endpoint2
```
### Capturing values
A value from an HTTP response can be-reused for successive HTTP requests.
A typical example occurs with CSRF tokens.
```hurl
GET https://example.org
HTTP 200
# Capture the CSRF token value from html body.
[Captures]
csrf_token: xpath "normalize-space(//meta[@name='_csrf_token']/@content)"
# Do the login !
POST https://example.org/login?user=toto&password=1234
X-CSRF-TOKEN: {{csrf_token}}
```
More information on captures can be found here [https://hurl.dev/docs/capturing-response.html](https://hurl.dev/docs/capturing-response.html)
### Asserts
The HTTP response defined in the Hurl file are used to make asserts. Responses are optional.
At the minimum, response includes assert on the HTTP status code.
```hurl
GET http:/example.org
HTTP 301
```
It can also include asserts on the response headers
```hurl
GET http:/example.org
HTTP 301
Location: http://www.example.org
```
Explicit asserts can be included by combining a query and a predicate
```hurl
GET http:/example.org
HTTP 301
[Asserts]
xpath "string(//title)" == "301 Moved"
```
With the addition of asserts, Hurl can be used as a testing tool to run scenarios.
More information on asserts can be found here [https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html](https://hurl.dev/docs/asserting-response.html)
## Options
Options that exist in curl have exactly the same semantics.
Options specified on the command line are defined for every Hurl file's entry.
For instance:
```shell
$ hurl --location foo.hurl
```
will follow redirection for each entry in `foo.hurl`. You can also define an option only for a particular entry with an `[Options]` section. For instance, this Hurl file:
```hurl
GET https://example.org
HTTP 301
GET https://example.org
[Options]
location: true
HTTP 200
```
will follow a redirection only for the second entry.
| Option | Description |
|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| <a href="#cacert" id="cacert"><code>--cacert &lt;FILE&gt;</code></a> | Specifies the certificate file for peer verification. The file may contain multiple CA certificates and must be in PEM format.<br>Normally Hurl is built to use a default file for this, so this option is typically used to alter that default file.<br> |
| <a href="#cert" id="cert"><code>-E, --cert &lt;CERTIFICATE[:PASSWORD]&gt;</code></a> | Client certificate file and password.<br><br>See also [`--key`](#key).<br> |
| <a href="#color" id="color"><code>--color</code></a> | Colorize debug output (the HTTP response output is not colorized). <br> |
| <a href="#compressed" id="compressed"><code>--compressed</code></a> | Request a compressed response using one of the algorithms br, gzip, deflate and automatically decompress the content.<br> |
| <a href="#connect-timeout" id="connect-timeout"><code>--connect-timeout &lt;SECONDS&gt;</code></a> | Maximum time in seconds that you allow Hurl's connection to take.<br><br>See also [`-m, --max-time`](#max-time).<br> |
| <a href="#connect-to" id="connect-to"><code>--connect-to &lt;HOST1:PORT1:HOST2:PORT2&gt;</code></a> | For a request to the given HOST1:PORT1 pair, connect to HOST2:PORT2 instead. This option can be used several times in a command line.<br><br>See also [`--resolve`](#resolve).<br> |
| <a href="#cookie" id="cookie"><code>-b, --cookie &lt;FILE&gt;</code></a> | Read cookies from FILE (using the Netscape cookie file format).<br><br>Combined with [`-c, --cookie-jar`](#cookie-jar), you can simulate a cookie storage between successive Hurl runs.<br> |
| <a href="#cookie-jar" id="cookie-jar"><code>-c, --cookie-jar &lt;FILE&gt;</code></a> | Write cookies to FILE after running the session (only for one session).<br>The file will be written using the Netscape cookie file format.<br><br>Combined with [`-b, --cookie`](#cookie), you can simulate a cookie storage between successive Hurl runs.<br> |
| <a href="#fail-at-end" id="fail-at-end"><code>--fail-at-end</code></a> | Continue executing requests to the end of the Hurl file even when an assert error occurs.<br>By default, Hurl exits after an assert error in the HTTP response.<br><br>Note that this option does not affect the behavior with multiple input Hurl files.<br><br>All the input files are executed independently. The result of one file does not affect the execution of the other Hurl files.<br> |
| <a href="#file-root" id="file-root"><code>--file-root &lt;DIR&gt;</code></a> | Set root file system to import files in Hurl. This is used for both files in multipart form data and request body.<br>When this is not explicitly defined, the files are relative to the current directory in which Hurl is running.<br> |
| <a href="#location" id="location"><code>-L, --location</code></a> | Follow redirect. To limit the amount of redirects to follow use the [`--max-redirs`](#max-redirs) option<br> |
| <a href="#glob" id="glob"><code>--glob &lt;GLOB&gt;</code></a> | Specify input files that match the given glob pattern.<br><br>Multiple glob flags may be used. This flag supports common Unix glob patterns like *, ? and []. <br>However, to avoid your shell accidentally expanding glob patterns before Hurl handles them, you must use single quotes or double quotes around each pattern.<br> |
| <a href="#include" id="include"><code>-i, --include</code></a> | Include the HTTP headers in the output (last entry).<br> |
| <a href="#ignore-asserts" id="ignore-asserts"><code>--ignore-asserts</code></a> | Ignore all asserts defined in the Hurl file.<br> |
| <a href="#insecure" id="insecure"><code>-k, --insecure</code></a> | This option explicitly allows Hurl to perform "insecure" SSL connections and transfers.<br> |
| <a href="#interactive" id="interactive"><code>--interactive</code></a> | Stop between requests.<br>This is similar to a break point, You can then continue (Press C) or quit (Press Q).<br> |
| <a href="#json" id="json"><code>--json</code></a> | Output each hurl file result to JSON. The format is very closed to HAR format. <br> |
| <a href="#key" id="key"><code>--key &lt;KEY&gt;</code></a> | Private key file name.<br> |
| <a href="#max-redirs" id="max-redirs"><code>--max-redirs &lt;NUM&gt;</code></a> | Set maximum number of redirection-followings allowed<br>By default, the limit is set to 50 redirections. Set this option to -1 to make it unlimited.<br> |
| <a href="#max-time" id="max-time"><code>-m, --max-time &lt;SECONDS&gt;</code></a> | Maximum time in seconds that you allow a request/response to take. This is the standard timeout.<br><br>See also [`--connect-timeout`](#connect-timeout).<br> |

| <a href="#resolve" id="resolve"><code>--resolve &lt;HOST:PORT:ADDR&gt;</code></a> | Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you can make the Hurl requests(s) use a specified address and prevent the otherwise normally resolved address to be used. Consider it a sort of /etc/hosts alternative provided on the command line.<br> |
| <a href="#retry" id="retry"><code>--retry</code></a> | Retry requests if any error occurs (asserts, captures, runtimes etc...).<br> |
| <a href="#retry-interval" id="retry-interval"><code>--retry-interval &lt;MILLISECONDS&gt;</code></a> | Duration in milliseconds between each retry. Default is 1000 ms.<br> |

| <a href="#ssl-no-revoke" id="ssl-no-revoke"><code>--ssl-no-revoke</code></a> | (Windows) This option tells Hurl to disable certificate revocation checks. WARNING: this option loosens the SSL security, and by using this flag you ask for exactly that.<br> |
| <a href="#test" id="test"><code>--test</code></a> | Activate test mode: with this, the HTTP response is not outputted anymore, progress is reported for each Hurl file tested, and a text summary is displayed when all files have been run.<br> |
| <a href="#to-entry" id="to-entry"><code>--to-entry &lt;ENTRY_NUMBER&gt;</code></a> | Execute Hurl file to ENTRY_NUMBER (starting at 1).<br>Ignore the remaining of the file. It is useful for debugging a session.<br> |

| <a href="#variables-file" id="variables-file"><code>--variables-file &lt;FILE&gt;</code></a> | Set properties file in which your define your variables.<br><br>Each variable is defined as name=value exactly as with [`--variable`](#variable) option.<br><br>Note that defining a variable twice produces an error.<br> |
| <a href="#verbose" id="verbose"><code>-v, --verbose</code></a> | Turn on verbose output on standard error stream.<br>Useful for debugging.<br><br>A line starting with '>' means data sent by Hurl.<br>A line staring with '<' means data received by Hurl.<br>A line starting with '*' means additional info provided by Hurl.<br><br>If you only want HTTP headers in the output, [`-i, --include`](#include) might be the option you're looking for.<br> |
| <a href="#very-verbose" id="very-verbose"><code>--very-verbose</code></a> | Turn on more verbose output on standard error stream.<br><br>In contrast to [`--verbose`](#verbose) option, this option outputs the full HTTP body request and response on standard error. In addition, lines starting with '**' are libcurl debug logs.<br> |
| <a href="#help" id="help"><code>-h, --help</code></a> | Usage help. This lists all current command line options with a short description.<br> |
| <a href="#version" id="version"><code>-V, --version</code></a> | Prints version information<br> |
## Environment
Environment variables can only be specified in lowercase.
Using an environment variable to set the proxy has the same effect as using the [`-x, --proxy`](#proxy) option.
| Variable | Description |
|--------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `http_proxy [PROTOCOL://]<HOST>[:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use for HTTP.<br> |
| `https_proxy [PROTOCOL://]<HOST>[:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use for HTTPS.<br> |
| `all_proxy [PROTOCOL://]<HOST>[:PORT]` | Sets the proxy server to use if no protocol-specific proxy is set.<br> |
| `no_proxy <comma-separated list of hosts>` | List of host names that shouldn't go through any proxy.<br> |
| `HURL_name value` | Define variable (name/value) to be used in Hurl templates. This is similar than [`--variable`](#variable) and [`--variables-file`](#variables-file) options.<br> |
| `NO_COLOR` | When set to a non-empty string, do not colorize output (see [`--no-color`](#no-color) option).<br> |
## Exit Codes
| Value | Description |
|-------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| `1` | Failed to parse command-line options.<br> |
| `2` | Input File Parsing Error.<br> |
| `3` | Runtime error (such as failure to connect to host).<br> |
| `4` | Assert Error.<br> |
