CLI

The Zeplo CLI helps you to view requests, manage your account and includes a dev server.

Install

Install using NPM:

npm install -g @zeplo/cli

Install using script:

curl -fsSL get.zeplo.io -o get-zeplo.sh
sh get-zeplo.sh

You should update Zeplo by running the same command.

Dev Server (zeplo dev)

A local dev server that can be used during development. It implements the same API as the zeplo.to. By default it runs on http://localhost:4747 - you can specify an alternative port using -p.

To start a dev server use:

zeplo dev

And to queue a request use:

curl http://localhost:4747/myurl.com?_delay=10

The queue and requests commands support a --dev flag which can be used to target your dev server instead of the Zeplo production servers. E.g. To list requests on your dev server use zeplo requests --dev

You can specify a workspace ID (and optional token) when creating the dev server, this allows you to start multiple servers without causing conflicts.

zeplo dev -w name:token123

Differences to production

There are some minor differences to the production server:

  • If token is not provided using zeplo dev -w name:token, then _token is not required. In production, _token param is always required.

  • Only the the following endpoints are supported. These endpoints work in the same way as the Zeplo API, unless otherwise specified:

    • Queue [ANY] - http://localhost:4747/<url> (incl all headers/query parameters)
    • Bulk [POST] - http://localhost:4747/bulk
    • List requests [GET] - http://localhost:4747/requests. Only exact match filters are supported (e.g. /requests?filters={duration: 0.1}).
    • Get a single request [GET] - http://localhost:4747/requests/<id>
    • Pause request [PATCH] - http://localhost:4747/requests/<id>/inactive
    • Unpause request [PATCH] - http://localhost:4747/requests/<id>/active
    • Get request body [GET] - http://localhost:4747/requests/<id>/request.body
    • Get response body [GET] - http://localhost:4747/requests/<id>/response.body

  • In addition, you can reset/remove completed requests by calling /requests/reset [POST]. If you wish to remove ALL requests (including pending and active requests), then append ?hard=1. This can be useful for automated testing.
