BusyAPI can simulate long API calls in order to help developpers test their API timeout handling or to simulates long running tasks.
Just call https://api.busyapi.dev/<timeout>, where <timeout> is the timeout after which the API must response.
If you don't specify any timeout, the API returns immediately.
The following restrictions applies:
- Maximum timeout is 60s by default, unless changed when runnning the server. If you specify a longer timeout when calling the API, the maximum timeout will be used
- Only
GETrequests are allowed, any other method will result in a400 Bad Requesterror - Malformed URLs will also result in a
400 Bad Requesterror - Everything after the HTTP method, i.e. request headers, body, etc. will be ignored
- The API always returns a
204 No Contentresponse when successful
