Octrafic is an open-source CLI for API testing. Point it at any OpenAPI spec or live endpoint, describe what you want to test in plain English, and let it handle the rest - from generating requests to validating responses and exporting a PDF report. No test scripts, no GUI, no mocks. Just a single binary. Works with OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, and any OpenAI-compatible provider

Hey everyone! 👋
I built Octrafic to make API testing simpler - no test scripts, no GUI, no mocks.
Point it at any API, describe what you want to test in plain English, and the AI agent handles the rest - planning scenarios, running real requests, validating responses, and exporting results.
What it can do:
- Describe tests in plain English - no boilerplate, no config files
- Generate an OpenAPI spec from your source code
- Run in CI/CD pipelines non-interactively with a single command
- Export tests to Postman, curl, or pytest to use in your existing toolchain
- Export PDF reports
- Works with any LLM - OpenAI, Claude, Ollama, llama.cpp. You bring your own key, nothing goes through my servers.
Single binary, no runtime dependencies, fully open-source under MIT.
Give it a shot and let me know what you think.

@hawierdev Congratulations on the launch! What’s the onboarding experience like for developers new to Octrafic? Can someone start testing an API in minutes?
"No scripts, no GUI, no mocks" resonates — I've lost too many hours writing boilerplate just to validate a single endpoint. The OpenAPI spec auto-generation from source code is a smart move. Does it handle versioned APIs where multiple spec versions coexist?
This is exactly the kind of tool I didn't know I needed. The plain English to test case pipeline is clever — how does it handle auth heavy APIs where half the complexity is just getting a valid token before you can test anything? Also curious how the PDF reports look, that could be genuinely useful for handing off to a client.
Congrats for the launch - this looks super useful and impressive!
