Overview
Certain applications require a request in order to get an authentication token. This is common with APIs or SPAs. With LoadForge you can easily set any headers you need by tweaking your get() or post() calls to include a header set. Below is a partial test (just theon_start
section) that shows how to set an authorization (or really any) header
based on response content at launch with your load test.
Naturally, you would not do all of these. They are 3 examples of getting a Bearer token in different ways.
Code snippets
These are just partial examples from a test. You may use the wizard or another example
template and copy paste these into your test.
LoadForge is powered by locust, meaning open source locust users can copy this script as well.
If you are a locust user, consider importing your script to LoadForge to supercharge your testing!
