AI-powered CLI tool for API testing, request generation, and execution directly from the terminal.

Apix v1.3.0 (Chaining and Workflows)

API chains

APIX lets you define multiple API requests as a chain and execute them sequentially

Each chain is stored as a .json file, where every step contains its own request configuration

Create a chain:

Create a JSON file such as text login-flow.json

{
  "steps": [
    {
      "name": "Login",
      "method": "POST",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/login",
      "headers": { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
      "body": { "email": "[email protected]", "password": "secret" },
      "extract": { "token": "token", "userId": "user.id" }
    },
    {
      "name": "Profile",
      "method": "GET",
      "url": "https://api.example.com/users/{{userId}}",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer {{token}}" }
    }
  ]
}

apix chain save auth-flow
apix chain run auth-flow
apix chain list

Use --file path/to/chain.json when the definition has a different name. Values extracted with extract can be used in later URLs, headers, and bodies as {{variable}}. A missing value, failed extraction or failed request stops the chain and reports the step that failed.

## 📦 Installation

```bash id="b4m3k2"
npm install -g apix-dev-cli

🚀 Quick Start

🔹 Run a simple GET request

apix run GET https://dummyjson.com/users

🔹 Run a POST request (JSON)

apix run POST https://dummyjson.com/users/add -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d '{ "firstName": "Aayush", "lastName": "Singh" }'

Run apix help for more INFO

🔹 Run using key=value format

apix run POST https://dummyjson.com/users/add -d name="Aayush" role="Developer"

💾 Save & Reuse Requests

apix save GET https://dummyjson.com/users
apix list
apix run 1

🤖 AI Features (Core Highlight)

🔹 Generate API from natural language

Would require a groq API key

apix generate "create login api"

🔹 Generate and run instantly

apix generate "create login api" --run

🔹 Generate, save and run

apix generate "create user api" --save --run

📘 Examples

🌤 Weather API (query params)

apix run GET "https://api.open-meteo.com/v1/forecast?latitude=28.6&longitude=77.2&current_weather=true"

🛒 Fake Store API

apix run GET https://fakestoreapi.com/products

🧪 Save and execute later

apix save POST https://dummyjson.com/users/add -d name="Aayush"
apix run 2

⚙️ Commands

| Command | Description | | --------------------- | ------------------- | | run <method> <url> | Run API request | | run <id> | Run saved request | | save <method> <url> | Save request | | list | List saved requests | | edit <id> | Edit request | | delete <id> | Delete request | | generate "<prompt>" | AI generate request |

🔑 AI Setup (Required for AI Features)

Apix uses Groq API for AI-powered features.

1️⃣ Get API Key

👉 https://console.groq.com/keys

2️⃣ Set Environment Variable

🪟 Windows (PowerShell)

setx GROQ_API_KEY "your_api_key_here"

🍎 Mac/Linux

export GROQ_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

3️⃣ Restart your terminal

⚠️ Notes

• For PowerShell, wrap JSON in single quotes

-d '{ "key": "value" }'

• AI-generated URLs may sometimes be placeholders — update if needed

• Without API key:

  • ✅ Run / Save features work
  • ❌ AI features will not work

🛣 Roadmap/Future Development Plan

• 🔗 API chaining
• 🌍 Environment variables (BASE_URL)
• 📜 Version history (Git-style)
• 🤖 Improved AI suggestions
