  "github_readme_excerpt": "![hey](http://i.imgur.com/szzD9q0.png)\n\nhey is a tiny program that sends some load to a web application.\n\nhey was originally called boom and was influenced from Tarek Ziade\u0027s\ntool at [tarekziade/boom](https://github.com/tarekziade/boom). Using the same name was a mistake as it resulted in cases\nwhere binary name conflicts created confusion.\nTo preserve the name for its original owner, we renamed this project to hey.\n\n## Installation\n\n  - Linux (amd64): https://storage.googleapis.com/hey-releases/hey_linux_amd64\n  - macOS (amd64): https://storage.googleapis.com/hey-releases/hey_darwin_amd64\n  - Windows (amd64): https://storage.googleapis.com/hey-releases/hey_windows_amd64\n\n### Package Managers\n\nmacOS:\n-  [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) users can use `brew install hey`.\n\n## Usage\n\nhey runs provided number of requests in the provided concurrency level and prints stats.\n\nIt also supports HTTP2 endpoints.\n\n```\nUsage: hey [options...] \u003curl\u003e\n\nOptions:\n  -n  Number of requests to run. Default is 200.\n  -c  Number of workers to run concurrently. Total number of requests cannot\n      be smaller than the concurrency level. Default is 50.\n  -q  Rate limit, in queries per second (QPS) per worker. Default is no rate limit.\n  -z  Duration of application to send requests. When duration is reached,\n      application stops and exits. If duration is specified, n is ignored.\n      Examples: -z 10s -z 3m.\n  -o  Output type. If none provided, a summary is printed.\n      \"csv\" is the only supported alternative. Dumps the response\n      metrics in comma-separated values format.\n\n  -m  HTTP method, one of GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS.\n  -H  Custom HTTP header. You can specify as many as needed by repeating the flag.\n      For example, -H \"Accept: text/html\" -H \"Content-Type: application/xml\" .\n  -t  Timeout for each request in seconds. Default is 20, use 0 for infinite.\n  -A  HTTP Accept header.\n  -d  HTTP request body.\n  -D  HTTP request body from file. For example, /home/user/file.t",
