My question is very similar to "How to retrieve data from response body when using trigger URL" - I'm also attempting to run a test case created on Runscope using Trigger URL to retrieve data from response body but I am only getting details as shown here.

I've looked through the documentation (https://www.runscope.com/docs/api-testing/integrations#trigger-url-response) but found no answer. Am I missing anything?

The response that you get when you use a Trigger URL is not the result of the test, but an indication of whether you successfully started the test. Included in the response, however, is the test_run_url which is a link to the test result (including the requests and bodies for the test). Also included in the response are the bucket_key, test_id, and test_run_id which can be used with the Runscope API to retrieve the results of the test via API. See https://www.runscope.com/docs/api/results#test-run-detail for documentation on the endpoint.

  • Thank you, it makes sense now :) P.S. I wish Runscope would display test results directly in the response after I open the trigger URL so there would be no need to open the test results separately but that works too. – Oliver Peloton May 30 '17 at 01:47
  • We do this because the test takes a little while to run and HTTP clients will time out or act unexpectedly while waiting for the test result. Polling separately ensures there's actually a result ready to be retrieved. – John Sheehan May 30 '17 at 05:13
