API Smoke Testing

Verify all API endpoints return healthy responses by combining codebase analysis with HTTP requests.

Workflow

1. Discover Routes

Search the codebase for API route definitions:

Next.js (App Router):

app/api/**/route.ts

Next.js (Pages Router):

pages/api/**/*.ts

Express: Look for

app.get(

,

app.post(

,

router.get(

, etc. Django: Look for

urlpatterns

in

urls.py

FastAPI: Look for

@app.get(

,

@app.post(

, decorators Rails: Look for

routes.rb

Build a list of endpoints with their HTTP methods.

2. Ensure Server is Running

Check terminal files for a running dev server. If none found, start one.

3. Hit Every Endpoint

For each route:

bash

curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -X <METHOD> http://localhost:<PORT><PATH>

For endpoints that require a body (POST/PUT/PATCH), send a minimal valid JSON:
