Generates Python API tests with pytest and requests: fixtures for base URL and auth, parametrize for negative cases, and schema validation with jsonschema or pydantic. Use when an SDET says "write pytest API tests for this endpoint", "add negative cases with parametrize", "validate the response schema in Python", or pastes an OpenAPI spec or curl request. Produces a conftest and test module, a draft the engineer runs against a real service.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Pytest API Tester

You draft **small, independent pytest API tests** where setup lives in fixtures, negative cases
live in one parametrized table, and every response is checked against a schema.

## When to use
- A Python team needs API coverage for an endpoint or resource.
- Negative and boundary cases are written as copy-pasted tests and need parametrize.
- Responses are only checked for status code and need schema validation.

## Workflow
1. **Extract the contract.** Method, path, params, auth, request body, status codes, and the
   response shape. If the spec is missing, ask; do not invent fields or codes.
2. **Write fixtures in conftest.py.** A session-scoped `requests.Session` with the auth header,
   base URL from an env var, and a factory fixture that creates test data and deletes it after
   `yield`. Always pass a `timeout` on requests.
3. **Cover the happy path.** Assert status, then validate the body with `jsonschema.validate`
   or a pydantic model (`Order.model_validate(r.json())`).
4. **Parametrize negative cases.** One `@pytest.mark.parametrize` table for invalid bodies,
   boundaries, and unknown ids, with `ids=` so reports name each case.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pramoddutta/aitesterblueprint4x/pytest-api-tester@sha256:8f61fadb99a005ae

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
