To defining multiple requests in params by using values or brace expansion with setting expand: true.

Simply using values array is as below:

params:
  - {name: id, values: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]}
  - {name: name, values: ["John", "Paul", "George", "Ringo"], expand: true}

The values is also rewritable with brace expansion like as follows:

params:
  - {name: id, value "{5,4,3,2,1}", expand: true}
  - {name: name, value "{John,Paul,George,Ringo}", expand: true}

The following is configuring username/password for the basic authentication.

basic_auth:
 user: MyUser
 password: MyPassword

Configure like as follows to easily paginate a request:

in:
  type: http
  url: http://express.heartrails.com/api/json
  pager: {from_param: from, to_param: to, start: 1, step: 1000, pages: 10}

Properties of pager is as below:

• from_param: parameter name of 'from' index
• to_param: parameter name of 'to' index (optional)
• pages: total page size
• start: first index number (optional, 0 is used by default)
• step: size to increment (optional, 1 is used by default)

1. Combination of from and to

   pager: {from_param: from, to_param: to, pages: 4, start: 1, step: 10}

   1. ?from=1&to=10
   2. ?from=11&to=20
   3. ?from=21&to=30
   4. ?from=31&to=40

2. Increment page parameter

   params:
     - {name: size, value: 100}
   pager: {from_param: page, pages: 4, start: 1, step: 1}

   1. ?page=1&size=100
   2. ?page=2&size=100
   3. ?page=3&size=100
   4. ?page=4&size=100

    - {name: method, value: getStations}
    - {name: x, value: 135.0}
    - {name: y, value: "{35,34,33,32,31}.0", expand: true}
  request_headers: {X-Some-Key1: some-value1, X-Some-key2: some-value2}
