Catch API bugs before your users do.
Schemathesis automatically generates thousands of test cases from your OpenAPI or GraphQL schema and finds edge cases that break your API.
Finding bugs that manual testing missed
# Test a demo API - finds real bugs in 30 seconds
uvx schemathesis run https://example.schemathesis.io/openapi.json
# Test your own API
uvx schemathesis run https://your-api.com/openapi.json- π₯ 500 errors that crash your API on edge case inputs
- π Schema violations where your API returns different data than documented
- πͺ Validation bypasses where invalid data gets accepted
- π Integration failures when responses don't match client expectations
- π Stateful bugs where operations work individually but fail in realistic workflows

Command Line:
uv pip install schemathesis
schemathesis run https://your-api.com/openapi.jsonPython Tests:
import schemathesis
schema = schemathesis.openapi.from_url("https://your-api.com/openapi.json")
@schema.parametrize()
def test_api(case):
# Tests with random data, edge cases, and invalid inputs
case.call_and_validate()
# Stateful testing: Tests workflows like: create user -> get user -> delete user
APIWorkflow = schema.as_state_machine()
# Creates a test class for pytest/unittest

"Schemathesis is the best tool for fuzz testing of REST APIs on the market. We at Red Hat use it for examining our applications in functional and integration testing levels." - Dmitry Misharov, RedHat
