Detailed feature documentation for APIWeave. The pages in this category follow a natural user journey: build workflows on the canvas and pass data between steps, configure the environment and the project that groups the workflows, then integrate with local tooling through the MCP bridge and OpenAPI or Swagger import.
- Concepts for the vocabulary of projects, workflows, variables, environments, secrets, and runs used throughout the feature guides.
The two guides in this section cover the canvas itself and the data that flows between steps on a single run.
- Workflows and Nodes: build, edit, and run workflows on the canvas. Covers every node type — including the Call Workflow node that runs another workflow as one step and the expected-status control for negative tests — canvas actions, and keyboard shortcuts.
- Variables and Extractors: pass data between steps with the four placeholder namespaces, pull values from responses with extractors, and manage workflow-level variables.
- Node Presets: save a node's configuration under a name and drag it into any workflow in the workspace. Covers saving, renaming, deleting, and what a preset does and does not carry.
- Visualization and Debugging: run timeline/waterfall, variable provenance tracing, masked-secret resolution confidence, and camera-follow during runs — read-only debugging views over existing run and dataflow data.
These pages cover the per-environment values a workflow reads at run time, the project that groups workflows, and the secret store that holds the values {{secrets.NAME}} resolves to.
- Environments and Secrets: local environments, environment inheritance for shared variables, the encrypted secret store, and the metadata-only display.
- Projects: ordered groups of workflows. Covers project lifecycle,
.awecollectionexport and import, and the references-only behavior of the bundle.
The two guides in this section cover the surfaces APIWeave exposes to other tools on your machine, whether that is a local AI agent or an upstream API definition.
- MCP Integration: drive APIWeave from AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Covers the local loopback HTTP bridge, the per-install static token, and setup recipes for five major agents.
- Swagger and OpenAPI Import: turn an OpenAPI or Swagger document into reusable request templates, with environment-linked sync, one-time file import, and the
Check APIwarning badge.
