Introducing ReAPI

API Testing That Scales with Your Team

ReAPI bridges the gap between no-code simplicity and enterprise-grade power. QA teams build comprehensive tests visually—no coding required for 95% of scenarios. When complexity arises, developers provide powerful scripting that integrates seamlessly into the visual interface.

The result? Maximum test coverage without bottlenecks. QA owns the testing lifecycle, developers extend capabilities when needed. It’s the collaboration model other tools missed.

The Modern API Testing Challenge

Modern QA teams are caught between two extremes. On one side are developer-focused tools that lead to scattered, hard-to-maintain test collections. On the other is building a custom test framework, which requires specialized coding skills and creates a maintenance bottleneck.

This leads to common pain points:

  • Brittle Test Suites: Tests are often simple property checks that break with minor API changes.
  • Maintenance Bottlenecks: Only a few engineers can write or update tests, slowing down the release cycle.
  • Inadequate Coverage: The test suite can’t keep pace with the speed of development.

How ReAPI is Different

ReAPI solves these problems by focusing on a core philosophy: empower the QA team to own the entire testing lifecycle. We achieve this by grounding all testing in a single source of truth—the API Specification—and combining it with our unique N+0.1 Collaboration Model.

📖 Deep Dive: To understand our unique approach, we highly recommend reading ReAPI’s Philosophy.

Key Features

  • Intelligent API Design & Specs: Our visual, no-code OpenAPI editor is the heart of ReAPI. It’s your single source of truth, soon to be enhanced with AI-powered review to help you design and maintain high-quality API specifications effortlessly.
  • Debug Collections: Postman-like request collections with automatic cloud sync. Quickly test endpoints, organize requests in folders, import Postman collections, and share examples with your team. Perfect for exploratory testing and debugging.
  • No-Code Visual Editor: Drag-and-drop nodes for building test flows, including API calls, conditionals, loops, and more. QA teams own the entire testing lifecycle without writing code.
  • Best-in-Class Scripting: When you need it, ReAPI delivers enterprise-grade scripting with built-in Zod (v4), ky, lodash, and faker. Write custom assertions, value generators, and global utilities once—QA uses them through UI dropdowns. Developers: this isn’t just “extensibility,” it’s a complete JavaScript runtime with the best collaboration model in API testing.
  • Zero-Knowledge Security: Enterprise-grade secrets management with client-side encryption. Your API keys, passwords, and tokens are encrypted before reaching our servers—we can’t decrypt them even if we wanted to. Support for biometric unlock (Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello) and CLI secrets injection for maximum security. Test results are also encrypted server-side for true zero-knowledge architecture.
  • Powerful Data Handling: Use JSONata for data extraction and our Template Engine for dynamic value generation.
  • Environment Management: Easily configure servers, authentication, and variables for different environments.
  • Flexible Execution Environments: Run tests in the browser for debugging, on your own infrastructure with our Node.js CLI, or in the ReAPI Cloud for managed automation.
  • AI-Powered Testing (Coming Soon): By leveraging the structured data from your API Specifications, we are developing features for intelligent test generation, automated coverage analysis, and more.
