name: api-tester description: Perform structured HTTP/HTTPS requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) with custom headers and JSON body support. Use for API testing, health checks, or interacting with REST services programmatically without relying on curl.

API Tester

A lightweight, dependency-free HTTP client for OpenClaw.

Usage

Basic GET Request

const api = require('skills/api-tester');
const result = await api.request('GET', 'https://api.example.com/data');
console.log(result.status, result.data);

POST Request with JSON Body

const api = require('skills/api-tester');
const payload = { key: 'value' };
const headers = { 'Authorization': 'Bearer <token>' };
const result = await api.request('POST', 'https://api.example.com/submit', headers, payload);

Return Format

The request function returns a Promise resolving to:

{
  status: 200,          // HTTP status code
  headers: { ... },     // Response headers
  data: { ... },        // Parsed JSON body (if applicable) or raw string
  raw: "...",           // Raw response body string
  error: "..."          // Error message if request failed (network error, timeout)
}

Features

• Zero dependencies: Uses Node.js built-in http and https modules.
• Auto-JSON: Automatically stringifies request body and parses response body if Content-Type matches.

• Timeout support: Default 10s timeout, configurable.
• Error handling: Returns structured error object instead of throwing, ensuring safe execution.

整体质量不错，是一个可靠可用的API测试工具。零依赖设计很轻量，安装使用都很简单，文档说明清晰易懂，新手也能快速上手。它能处理常见的GET、POST等请求，错误提示也比较友好。不足之处是功能相对基础，缺少一些进阶特性（比如请求重试、代理支持等），对于复杂的测试场景可能不够用。日常简单使用完全没问题，但复杂需求需要找更专业的工具。
