Loop Mode

Loop mode allows you to run the same request multiple times, perfect for stress testing APIs or generating bulk data.

Basic Usage

Run a request 10 times:

tabby get https://api.example.com/health -l 10

With Dynamic Data

Each iteration generates new placeholder values:

tabby post https://api.example.com/users -b '{"name": "{{name}}"}' -l 100

This creates 100 different users, each with a unique name.

Stress Testing

Test API performance under load:

tabby get https://api.example.com/users -l 1000

Output Summary

After loop mode completes, Tabby shows:

• Total requests made
• Successful responses
• Failed responses
• Average response time
• Min/Max response times

Best Practices

1. Start small - Begin with -l 10 to verify everything works
2. Monitor the API - Check server logs during stress tests
3. Use rate limiting - Some APIs may throttle or block rapid requests
4. Template variety - Use placeholders to generate realistic varied data
