🚀 AutoAPI VS Code Extension

AutoAPI is a Visual Studio Code extension that integrates with the autoapi-cli tool to generate and run tests from your OpenAPI specification using OpenAI's GPT models. It simplifies test automation and improves API test coverage directly from your editor.

✨ Features

• ⚙️ One-click setup with AutoAPI: Init
• 🧪 Run AutoAPI: Test directly from VS Code
• 🧠 Automatically generates API tests using OpenAI
• 📁 Detects changes in openapi.yaml or openapi.json and prompts re-testing
• 🔐 Prompt to enter and persist your OpenAI API key securely
• 📊 View test results in a custom AutoAPI Results sidebar tree
• 🖥️ View command output in the AutoAPI Output Channel
• 📂 Webview-based sidebar UI to edit .autoapi.config.json
• 📡 Automatically reloads results if .autoapi/results/last-run.json is updated
• 🌐 Tunnel Mode to expose localhost APIs using a custom subdomain (via localtunnel)

📦 Requirements

• Node.js v18 or later
• autoapi-cli

Install globally:

npm install -g autoapi-cli

⚙️ Extension Settings

Set it in your VS Code settings.json:

{
  "autoapi.openaiKey": "sk-..."
}

📁 Example Workflow

1. Open your project containing openapi.yaml or openapi.json.
2. Open the AutoAPI sidebar or run the command: AutoAPI: Init.
3. Enter:
   • OpenAPI spec path
   • Base URL of your API
   • Optional headers (e.g., Authorization)
   • K6 server URL (for performance testing)
   • Optionally enable Tunnel Mode
     • Set port (e.g., 3000)
     • Set subdomain (e.g., my-api)
4. Click "Save Config" or "Update Config"
5. Click "Run Tests" to generate and execute tests
6. View test results in the AutoAPI Results view or .autoapi/results/last-run.json

🌐 Tunnel Mode

If your API is running on localhost, you can expose it to the internet using a secure tunnel:

• Enable Tunnel Mode
• Set:
  • Port: Local port of your API (e.g., 3000)
  • Subdomain: Unique subdomain for public access (e.g., my-api)
• AutoAPI uses localtunnel to generate a live base_url

💡 Tunnel will auto-close and regenerate on "Restart Tunnel"
