Command-line Interface

Usage

$ dredd '<api-description-document>' '<api-location>' [OPTIONS]

Example:

$ dredd ./apiary.md http://127.0.0.1:3000

Arguments

.. option:: api-description-document

   URL or path to the API description document (API Blueprint, OpenAPI 2).
   **Sample values:** ``./api-blueprint.apib``, ``./openapi2.yml``, ``./openapi2.json``, ``http://example.com/api-blueprint.apib``


.. option:: api-location

   URL, the root address of your API.
   **Sample values:** ``http://127.0.0.1:3000``, ``http://api.example.com``

Configuration File

If you use Dredd repeatedly within a single project, the preferred way to run it is to first persist your configuration in a dredd.yml file. With the file in place you can then run Dredd every time simply just by:

$ dredd

Dredd offers interactive wizard to setup your dredd.yml file:

$ dredd init

See below how sample configuration file could look like. The structure is the same as of the :ref:`Dredd Class configuration object <configuration-object-for-dredd-class>`.

reporter: apiary
custom:
  - "apiaryApiKey:yourSecretApiaryAPiKey"
  - "apiaryApiName:apiName"
dry-run: null
hookfiles: "dreddhooks.js"
server: rails server
server-wait: 3
init: false
names: false
only: []
output: []

user: null

path: []
blueprint: api-description.apib
endpoint: "http://127.0.0.1:3000"

Note

Do not get confused by Dredd using a keyword blueprint also for paths to OpenAPI 2 documents. This is for historical reasons and will be changed in the future.
