The foundational framework

Open source
API simulation

Hoverfly is the lightweight, open source API simulation code that Hoverfly Cloud is built on top of. Using Hoverfly, you can create realistic simulations of the APIs your application depends on.

It has no GUI and is typically used locally or within your own network and infrastructure, to:

  • Replace slow, flaky API dependencies with realistic, re-usable simulations
  • Simulate network latency, random failures or rate limits to test edge-cases
  • Extend and customize with any programming language
  • Export, share, edit and import API simulations
  • CLI and native language bindings for Java and Python
  • REST API
  • Lightweight, high-performance, run anywhere
  • Apache 2 license
