After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • 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.

WebApiExtension

Latest Stable Version License Build Status

Provides testing for REST APIs with Behat 3. This is a maintained fork of behat/web-api-extension with additional features and long term support.

And activate your extension:

# behat.yml

Supported PHP versions are 8.3.36 or later in the 8.3 series, 8.4.27 or later in the 8.4 series, and 8.5.12 or later in the 8.5 series. These versions include the security fixes released on October 21, 2026. Official release metadata: PHP 8.3.36, PHP 8.4.27, and PHP 8.5.12.

This is a breaking change to the PHP requirements: PHP 7.x, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, and earlier patches of PHP 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 are no longer supported. Upgrade the PHP runtime used by Composer, Behat, and CI before updating this extension.

Private to protected

One of the tricky things in the original behat/web-api-extension library is the extensive use of private properties and methods, preventing you from easily extending it. This fork fixes it by moving everything to protected.

Placeholder support

One of the new features from this fork is the ability to use placeholders with regular expressions to help you test input or output that varies. For example:

It is common for APIs to return responses with dynamic content. UUIDs, timestamps, generated passwords, etc. All of those, unfortunately, make writing scenarios a bit challenging. With placeholders, you can easily test by using regular expressions to ensure they are returned in a valid format, but can still be variable.

Other examples of placeholders:

Tests

$ composer install
$ php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t testapp &
$ vendor/bin/behat -f progress
