Cypress API Testing Plugin

Cypress Plugin API is a tool for enhancing API testing within the Cypress test runner by providing a user interface similar to Postman. It extends the standard `cy.request()` command with `cy.api()`, which visually logs details about API calls, including URLs, headers, request/response bodies, and cookies, directly into the Cypress App UI. These details are viewable through time-travel snapshots. Key features include JSON data object/array folding, HTTP method color coding, response size calculation, and options for sensitive data masking (like credentials) and integrating API calls seamlessly into UI test flows using `snapshotOnly` mode. The plugin currently maintains version `2.11.2`, released on July 14, 2024, with a consistent cadence of bug fixes and minor feature additions. It ships with TypeScript types to provide a better development experience.
