Voiden is an offline-first, git-native API tool built on Markdown.

Instead of keeping API requests inside a cloud workspace, Voiden stores them as .void files that can live with your codebase, be versioned in Git, reviewed in PRs, and reused across a team.

We have now released the beta of @voiden/runner, a headless CLI for running those .void files outside the desktop app.

The runner executes the request, prints the result, and exits with a standard exit code that CI systems can use.

Important bits:

  • runs on Node.js 18+
  • works in terminal, CI/CD, Docker, and cron jobs
  • supports REST, WebSocket, gRPC, and GraphQL
  • supports JSON and CSV output
  • supports request chaining through runtime variables
  • works with core Voiden plugins like scripting, assertions, faker, advanced auth, and GraphQL

This is still beta, so APIs and flags may change.

The goal is to make .void files executable API workflows, not just files used inside the desktop app.

Nice. May see if I can use this at work. The best option I have for api tests right now is SoapUI or just curl lol
