FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

The configuration file provides comprehensive control over Spectra's behavior:
Usage
Accessing Spectra
Once installed, visit /spectra in your browser when running in a local environment. You must be authenticated and have the use-spectra permission.
Gate Configuration
By default, Spectra defines a use-spectra gate that checks if the user has a developer role. You can customize this in your AuthServiceProvider:
Authentication Modes
Spectra supports four authentication modes for executing requests:
- Current User: Execute requests as the currently authenticated user
- Impersonate: Execute requests as a different user (requires
use-spectragate approval) - Bearer Token: Provide a Bearer token for authentication
- Basic Auth: Use username/password authentication
Working with Schemas
Spectra automatically generates JSON Schema (2020-12) from your FormRequest validation rules. Supported validation rules include:
- Basic types:
string,integer,numeric,boolean,array - Formats:
email,url,date,uuid - Constraints:
min,max,between,in(enum),regex - Files:
file,image,mimes - Modifiers:
nullable,required,sometimes
Request Collections
Save frequently used requests as collections:
- Configure your request (endpoint, parameters, auth mode)
- Click "Save" in the Collections panel
- Give it a name
- Load it anytime with one click
Export/import collections as JSON for sharing with your team.
Security
Spectra is designed with security as a top priority:
- Disabled by default outside local environments
- Rate limiting on request execution
- Sensitive header stripping (Authorization, Cookie, etc.)
- Field masking for sensitive data in responses
- Gate-based authorization for all features
- No external network requests — all execution is internal
Production Safety
Spectra will automatically return a 404 error when:
enabledconfig isfalseonly_localistrueand the environment is not local
Never enable Spectra in production environments.
