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 </integrations/blackfire-player>`](#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 ``` ### Health Score 72 — ExcellentBetter than 100% of packages Maintenance96 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity47 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community31 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity99 Battle-tested with a long release history Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
