WebPageTest API Wrapper for NodeJS

NPM Build Status Dependencies Status

WebPageTest API Wrapper is a NPM package that wraps WebPageTest API for NodeJS as a module and a command-line tool.

Getting started

$ npm install webpagetest -g

Basics

Command line

$ webpagetest test http://twitter.com/marcelduran

Module

var WebPageTest = require('webpagetest');
var wpt = new WebPageTest('www.webpagetest.org');

wpt.runTest('http://twitter.com/marcelduran', function(err, data) {
  console.log(err || data);
});

Run test on http://twitter.com/marcelduran and poll results every 5 seconds timing out in 60 seconds

wpt.runTest('http://twitter.com/marcelduran', {pollResults: 5, timeout: 60}, function(err, data) {
  console.log(err || data);
});

Or run test on http://twitter.com/marcelduran and wait results listening on localhost* port 8000**

wpt.runTest('http://twitter.com/marcelduran', {waitResults: 'localhost:8000'}, function(err, data) {
  console.log(err || data);
});

* hostname and port are optional, defaults to <system hostname>:<8000>

** localhost:8000 must be reacheable from WebPageTest server

Server mode

WebPageTest API Wrapper comes with a handy RESTful API proxy

Command Line

$ webpagetest listen 8080 --server wpt.foo.com
server listening on port 8080
http://localhost:8080
$ curl http://localhost:8080/help
$ curl http://localhost:8080/test/twitter.com/?location=SanJose_IE9
$ webpagetest listen 8443 --key key.pem --cert cert.pem --server wpt.foo.com
server listening on port 8443
https://localhost:8443

Notes

  • port 8080 is optional, default port is 7791
  • wpt.foo.com is overriding the default www.webpagetest.org server but can still be overridden with server option
  • when --key and --cert are provided, HTTPS is used instead of default HTTP server

Module

var server = wpt.listen(8080, function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('listening on ' + data.url);
}); // listen on port 8080 (optional), default port is 7791

setTimeout(function() {
  server.close(function() {
    console.log('server closed');
  });
}, 10000); // wait for 10s before stop listening

Batch

Batch command is available as command line only and loads a batch file containing one WebPageTest CLI command with options per line. It runs all commands in paralell but returns and array of results in order as they appear in the batch file once all results are ready. The exit status code is the sum of all individual commands exit status code.

By running

$ webpagetest batch commands.txt

where commands.txt contains:

test twitter.com/marcelduran --first --location foo
test twitter.com/marcelduran --first --location bar

It schedules the 2 tests above returning an array of size 2 in the same order as in commands.txt file:

[
  {
    "statusCode": 200, "statusText": "Ok",
    "data": {
      "testId": "130715_AB_C1D",
      ...
    }
  },
  {
    "statusCode": 200, "statusText": "Ok",
    "data": {
      "testId": "130715_CD_E2F",
      ...
    }
  }
]

With exit status 0 in case none of commands returns an error:

$ echo $?
0

By running multiple sync tests, i.e. with either --poll or --wait, all tests are schedule and results are pulled or wait in paralell, it means if tests are set to run in different locations of same location with multiple agents, the final result might come together but the result array will only return once all tests are done. e.g.:

commands.txt:

test twitter.com/marcelduran --first --location foo --poll --timeout 60
test twitter.com/marcelduran --first --location bar --poll --timeout 60
