Blackfire Player
================

[](#blackfire-player)

Blackfire Player is a powerful performance testing application. It provides a nice DSL to **crawl HTTP services**, **assert responses**, and **extract data** from HTML/XML/JSON responses.

Read more about how to [download and use Blackfire Player](https://docs.blackfire.io/builds-cookbooks/player).

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

`blackfire-player` is distributed through a Docker image.

To run a scenario located in the `my-scenario.bkf` file, run the following command:

```
docker run --rm -it -e BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID -e BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN -v "`pwd`:/app" blackfire/player run my-scenario.bkf
```

The `pwd` part is the local working directory (we are using the current directory here) and it is mapped to the `/app` path in the Docker container.

`BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID` and `BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN` environment variables need to be properly exposed from the host in order to be able to use the [:doc:`Blackfire Profiler integration &lt;/integrations/blackfire-player&gt;`](#id1).

Note

To make it simpler to run this command, you might create a shell alias (that you can store in a `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` file depending on your shell):

```
alias blackfire-player="docker run --rm -it -e BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_ID -e BLACKFIRE_CLIENT_TOKEN -v \"`pwd`:/app\" blackfire/player"
```

Don't forget to restart your terminal for it to take effect. You can then use `blackfire-player` as if it was the binary itself:

```
blackfire-player --version
blackfire-player list
blackfire-player run my-scenario.bkf
```
