Testing Server-Sent-Events APIs #

Server-Sent-Events is a server push technology enabling a client to receive automatic updates from a server via an HTTP connection.

Our API Testing tool allows you to subscribe to event-streams over SSE and listen to messages until expected pattern is matched. If no messages have matched expected patterns within the timeout, the test should fail.

          check:
            - id: 'message1'
              jsonpath:
                $.hello: "world"
            - id: 'message2'
              body: "world"
