What's New! Apidog's October Feature Updates Inside
Whether you're looking to streamline your API testing process, enhance collaboration, or access more customization options, these latest updates are designed with you in mind. Let’s dive into what’s new!
As October wraps up, we’re thrilled to share some exciting new updates from Apidog! Our team has been working tirelessly to bring you features that simplify, enhance, and empower your API development experience. Whether you're looking to streamline your API testing process, enhance collaboration, or access more customization options, these latest updates are designed with you in mind. Let’s dive into what’s new!
🔒 Secret Variable Type
Now, you can designate global and environment variables as secret to protect sensitive information. These secret-type variables are masked to prevent accidental exposure (such as through screenshots) and are excluded from data exports and published documentation, adding a robust layer of security.
🗑️ Trash Recovery for Deleted Test Scenarios
Deleted test scenarios and scheduled tasks are now sent to the Trash, where you can restore them within a set timeframe before they’re permanently removed.
🎮 Scripts and Database Connections as Test Steps
Automated tests just got more powerful! Now, you can add scripts and database connections as test steps, streamlining your workflow and making it easier to visually set up complex test scenarios.
🔥 Dynamic Values in "If" Test Step
The If component within test steps now supports dynamic values, adding more flexibility to your test workflows.
⏰ Flexible Scheduling for Test Scenarios
Scheduled tasks can now use the same execution config to run all test scenarios, with new scheduling intervals at minute and daily levels.
📥 More Swagger/OpenAPI Import Options
When importing Swagger/OpenAPI files into Apidog, you can use the Overwrite Selected Fields option. Customize which fields to overwrite if endpoints share the same method and path, giving you complete control over data import.
🚀 Customizable ISO 8601 Time Generation
When generating time in ISO 8601 format with {{$date.isoTimestamp}} or formatISO, you can now customize the timezone, formatting style, and even choose to exclude milliseconds or display only the date or time. By default, time generation is set to UTC, giving you maximum flexibility in time configurations.
💻 JSON with Comments Support for WebSocket Endpoints
The JSON with Comments Support feature in project settings is now functional for WebSocket endpoints, giving you clearer and more customizable configurations.
🗄️ Db2 Database Connection Support
Apidog now supports Db2 database connections, enabling more comprehensive integration with your backend systems. ⚙️ Edit Permissions for Environment Variables: Users outside your team can now edit and save the current value of environment variables when debugging endpoints via Run in Apidog, promoting smoother cross-functional collaboration.
⚡ Dynamic Naming for Extract Variables & Assertions
The dynamic value feature is now available when naming Extract Variables and Assertions in the endpoint's Post Processors, improving work efficiency.
📄 Enhanced Documentation for WebSocket Endpoints
Object parameters configured via JSON Schema are now fully visible in the documentation for WebSocket endpoints, ensuring your API docs are more comprehensive and detailed. We’re dedicated to evolving Apidog to better serve your API development needs. Discover more updates and optimizations in the Apidog Changelog.
