api-load-tester

api-load-tester is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OneWave-AI/claude-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (807 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test that sends increasing numbers of requests to web API endpoints and measures how they respond. It reports response-time percentiles, errors, request volume, likely bottlenecks, and where the service begins to fail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to test staging, development, or other approved environments, compare latency and error rates at different loads, find breaking points, and plan performance improvements.
Why use it?
It reveals how an API behaves as more users or requests arrive, rather than testing only one request at a time. This helps identify capacity limits before real traffic exposes them.

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

api-load-tester scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 48 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

API Load Tester

Stress-test HTTP endpoints under increasing load, identify breaking points, and produce a report with actionable recommendations.

Contents

  • references/tool-commands.md -- tool invocations (hey/wrk/ab/curl), default concurrency stages, per-stage data to capture.
  • references/metrics-interpretation.md -- latency, throughput, error, breaking-point, and bottleneck classification.
  • references/output-template.md -- exact structure for api-load-report.md, including ASCII charts and scaling table.
  • references/rules-and-examples.md -- safety rules, error handling, and example invocations.

Inputs

Collect from the user. Ask before proceeding if a required input is missing.

Required: endpoint URL(s) (with method, headers, body as needed); expected latency thresholds. Default thresholds if unspecified: p50 < 100ms, p95 < 300ms, p99 < 1000ms.

Optional: concurrent users or range (default ramp 1 to 100); authentication; request payloads; custom headers; test duration (default 10s per stage); ramp pattern (default step ramp, doubling each stage); success criteria (default 2xx); known rate limits; environment label (prod/staging/dev).

Workflow

Follow these steps in order.

  1. Select a tool. Check in priority order: which hey, which wrk, which ab, which curl. If none of hey/wrk/ab exist, install hey (brew install hey on macOS, go install github.com/rakyll/hey@latest on Linux with Go) or fall back to curl with bash background processes and wait. Verify with a single trivial request against a provided endpoint; diagnose connectivity or auth before continuing.

  2. Validate endpoints. Send one request per endpoint with the specified method, headers, auth, and body. Confirm the status matches the success criteria and record baseline single-request latency. On failure, surface the error and ask whether to skip or fix.

  3. Design the test plan. Build progressive concurrency stages (see references/tool-commands.md for the default progression), trimming or extending to the user's concurrency range. Define per-endpoint method, URL, headers, body, success codes, and timeout (default 30s). Print the plan for review before executing.

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.

api-load-tester is a skill published in the GitHub repository OneWave-AI/claude-skills (288 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 807 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
