rf-requests

rf-requests is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from manykarim/robotframework-agentskills. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,897 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of requests, Apache-2.0.

A guide for writing Robot Framework tests that send HTTP requests to REST APIs. REST APIs are web interfaces that exchange data through requests such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building API tests, sending JSON or XML data, uploading files, managing API sessions, authenticating requests, and checking responses.
Why use it?
It removes the need to work out request syntax, sessions, authentication, and response checks from scratch. It covers both one-off requests and repeated calls to the same API.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

rf-requests scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to requests — 14 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Requests Library Skill

Quick Reference

RequestsLibrary provides HTTP client keywords for REST API testing, wrapping Python's requests library. It supports JSON, XML, form data, file uploads, and all authentication methods.

Installation

pip install robotframework-requests

Library Import

Library    RequestsLibrary
Library    Collections    # Often needed for dict/list operations

Two Usage Styles

Style 1: Sessionless (Simple, Recommended for Most Cases)

Direct HTTP calls without session management:

${response}=    GET    https://api.example.com/users
${response}=    POST   https://api.example.com/users    json=${data}
${response}=    PUT    https://api.example.com/users/1  json=${data}
${response}=    DELETE https://api.example.com/users/1

Style 2: With Session (For Multiple Calls to Same API)

Create a session once, reuse for multiple requests:

Create Session    api    https://api.example.com    verify=${True}
${response}=    GET On Session    api    /users
${response}=    POST On Session   api    /users    json=${data}
${response}=    DELETE On Session    api    /users/1

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
