Output Formats

Readable in a terminal, parseable in a pipeline.

Pretty output for people, JSON for tools, raw response bodies for piping. Choose how much detail to show, and save the full results to a file in the same run.

# Override per run: curl-runner report.yaml --output-format json
global:
  output:
    format: pretty
    prettyLevel: detailed

Three formats
pretty for reading, json for jq and dashboards, raw for response bodies only.
Three levels of detail
minimal prints one line per request; standard and detailed add more, up to a full timing breakdown.
Saved and redacted
saveToFile or --output writes the results to disk, with secrets redacted as in the terminal.

Good for

Feeding results into jq or a dashboard
Quiet CI logs that only show failures
Inspecting headers and timings while debugging
Piping a response body into another tool
