Curl Me

Python script to imitate heavy traffic for API's. Curl Me allows full control over API traffic being pushed towards your API. This was created for the purpose of testing how an API or APIM will handle the heavy traffic.

The total requests made against an API are calculated based off (total requests / worker). More requests would require more async workers to perform all the requests in a timely fashion. More workers however use more resources, so please use this at your own risk.
