[feature] send multiple requests to single url in batch while testing

[jatin33]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I have to send request to same url endpoint multiple times

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great if we can build something where you can provide how many times a request should be triggered and then it automatically sends request at that mentioned url endpoint and show the api response of all requests being made.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently we have to manually send requests bu clicking Send button multiple times

Additional context
NA

Thanks for the feature suggestion. You're referring to "chain multiple requests" and "show responses in batch" right? We'll consider this feature request ASAP.

Can i work on this if possible? @liyasthomas

Yes exactly

[liyasthomas]

@jatin33 yes you can give it a try. Let me know if you need any help from our end. Assigning this issue to you.

[jatin33]

That sounds great, thanks @liyasthomas

[jatin33]

@liyasthomas needed to discuss its design,

For starters, I think we can add a kebab menu on top of send button where we can provide options to configure request being sent
something like this

and when one of the options selected from kebab menu Chain Multiple Requests we should see input box below

Let me know if you hame some different idea of implementing this

[liyasthomas]

@jatin33 this looks simple and very straightforward. I liked it. You can proceed with this design.

[jatin33]

great thanks, will try implementing this

Is this available? Is it has any progress? I would like to contribute.

Hi @EdwinFajardoBarrera, seems like this feature request is not assigned to anyone - let me know how you'd approach this feature.

[EdwinFajardoBarrera]

Hi @liyasthomas, sorry for the waiting time, I have some ideas:

I would like to add the kebab menu on the right side of saving options (with a 'tooltip' with configuration meaning). I have the idea of adding inside this menu a number input (with default 1 as count) and adding each response in the result, maybe separated by a visual element.

Another idea is to add another tab, especially for loop requesting.

I would like to read your opinion and get some guidance about modules that could be implied in this implementation.

This would still be a good addition

We're working on a "Collection Runner" feature that should achieve something very similar to this. Track here: #3600.
