Arguments

dir

Directory where cassettes are stored.

record

Record mode that dictates how HTTP requests/responses are recorded. Possible values are:

once, the default: Replays recorded interactions, records new ones if no cassette exists, and errors on new requests if cassette exists.
none: Replays recorded interactions, and errors on any new requests. Guarantees that no HTTP requests occur.
new_episodes: Replays recorded interactions and always records new ones, even if similar interactions exist.
all: Never replays recorded interactions, always recording new. Useful for re-recording outdated responses or logging all HTTP requests.

match_requests_on

Character vector of request matchers used to determine which recorded HTTP interaction to replay. The default matches on the "method", "uri", and either "body" (if present) or "body_json" (if the content-type is application/json).

The full set of possible values are:

method: the HTTP method.
uri: the complete request URI, excluding the port.
uri_with_port: the complete request URI, including the port.
host: the host component of the URI.
path: the path component of the URI.
query: the query component of the URI.
body: the request body.
body_json: the request body, parsed as JSON.
header: all request headers.

If more than one is specified, all components must match in order for the request to match. If not supplied, defaults to c("method", "uri").

Note that the request header and body will only be included in the cassette if match_requests_on includes "header" or "body" respectively. This keeps the recorded request as lightweight as possible.

serialize_with

(string) Which serializer to use: "yaml" (the default), "json", or "qs2".

json_pretty

(logical) want JSON to be newline separated to be easier to read? Or remove newlines to save disk space? default: FALSE.

ignore_hosts

(character) Vector of hosts to ignore. e.g., "localhost", or "google.com". These hosts are ignored and real HTTP requests are allowed to go through.

ignore_localhost

(logical) Default: FALSE

preserve_exact_body_bytes

(logical) Force a binary (base64) representation of the request and response bodies? By default, vcr will look at the Content-Type header to determine if this is necessary, but if it doesn't work you can set preserve_exact_body_bytes = TRUE to force it.

turned_off

(logical) VCR is turned on by default. Default: FALSE.

re_record_interval

(integer) How frequently (in seconds) the cassette should be re-recorded. Default: NULL (not re-recorded).

log, log_opts

See vcr_configure_log().

filter_sensitive_data, filter_sensitive_data_regex

Transform header and/or body in the request and response. Named list of substitutions to apply to the headers and body of the request and response. Format is list(replacement = "original") where replacement is a string that is matched exactly for filter_sensitive_data and a regular expression for filter_sensitive_data_regex.

filter_request_headers, filter_response_headers

Filter request or response headers. Should be a list: unnamed components are removed, and named components are transformed. For example, list("api_key") would remove the api_key header and list(api_key = "***") would replace the api_key header with ***.

httr2's redacted headers are automatically removed.

filter_query_parameters

Filter query parameters in the request. A list where unnamed components are removed, and named components are transformed. For example, list("api_key") would remove the api_key parameter and list(api_key = "***") would replace the api_key parameter with ***.

write_disk_path

(character) path to write files to for any requests that write responses to disk. By default this will be {cassette-name}-files/ inside the cassette directory.

warn_on_empty_cassette

(logical) Should a warning be thrown when an empty cassette is detected? Empty cassettes are cleaned up (deleted) either way. This option only determines whether a warning is thrown or not. Default: TRUE

...

Configuration settings used to override defaults.

.frame

Attach exit handlers to this environment. Typically, this should be either the current environment or a parent frame (accessed through parent.frame()). See vignette("withr", package = "withr") for more details.
