HTTP Protocol Guide
Best practices for API load and response correlation scenarios.
API Resilience
Capture status code distributions and latency bands under sustained load.
Feature Usage Samples

Switch between C#, Java, Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript to see the native SDK shape for this sample.
Licensing note: every runnable sample requires a valid runner key via WithRunnerKey("...") or config key LoadStrike:RunnerKey.
HTTP Step
var step = await LoadStrikeStep.Run<string>("GET /health", context, async () =>
{
var response = await client.GetAsync("https://example.com/health");
return response.IsSuccessStatusCode
? LoadStrikeResponse.Ok<string>(statusCode: ((int)response.StatusCode).ToString())
: LoadStrikeResponse.Fail<string>(statusCode: ((int)response.StatusCode).ToString());
});import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
var client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
var scenario = LoadStrikeScenario.create("http-check", context ->
LoadStrikeStep.run("GET /health", context, () -> {
var request = HttpRequest.newBuilder(URI.create("https://example.com/health")).GET().build();
var response = client.send(request, HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());
return response.statusCode() < 400
? LoadStrikeResponse.ok(Integer.toString(response.statusCode()))
: LoadStrikeResponse.fail(Integer.toString(response.statusCode()));
}).asReply()
);import urllib.request
from loadstrike_sdk import LoadStrikeResponse, LoadStrikeScenario, LoadStrikeStep
scenario = LoadStrikeScenario.create(
"http-check",
lambda context: LoadStrikeStep.run(
"GET /health",
context,

str(urllib.request.urlopen("https://example.com/health").status)
),
)["as_reply"](),
)const scenario = LoadStrikeScenario.create("http-check", async (context) => {
return LoadStrikeStep.run("GET /health", context, async () => {
const response = await fetch("https://example.com/health");
return response.ok
? LoadStrikeResponse.ok(String(response.status))
: LoadStrikeResponse.fail(String(response.status));
});
});const scenario = LoadStrikeScenario.create("http-check", async (context) => {
return LoadStrikeStep.run("GET /health", context, async () => {
const response = await fetch("https://example.com/health");
return response.ok
? LoadStrikeResponse.ok(String(response.status))
: LoadStrikeResponse.fail(String(response.status));
});
});Goal
Status codes
Capture the exact HTTP outcome code so success and failure percentages are visible in reports and sinks.
Latency
Measure the end-to-end request latency for the step under the configured load shape.
