Integrators

Spider is key to integrators success!

Use cases

• Check how third parties are calling the system / perform certification
• Troubleshoot (and challenge) third parties support tickets
• Record/replay third parties calls
• Compare current third parties calls to recorded ones
• Create Consumer Contract Tests from the third party recordings
• Check compatibilities of third parties with evolving service API
• Ensure non regression

Tips

• Use View Options to see 'logical' calls
• Filter on the clients you're working on
• Limit to specific timestamp (zoom on timeline) for faster queries
• Have saved queries focused on the APIs you are working on
• Use token decoding plugins to check client rights
• Export recorded third parties calls to JSON, and import them back to an Upload whisperer

tip

An Upload whisperer has a longer retention period than an Interface one.

• Save your exports in your wiki
• Get exports from production to create / correct regression tests
