Do You Test a Dedicated Node with an API Key Using Docker?

[abhin-ch]

What’s the best way to spin up a container that can connect to a dedicated RPC endpoint requiring an API key, and then test it through Docker?

import subprocess

def run_flood_test(node_name, node_url, api_key=None):
    """
    Run a flood test on the specified RPC endpoint.

    :param node_name: Name of the node for identification in reports.
    :param node_url: URL of the RPC endpoint.
    :param api_key: (Optional) API key for the RPC endpoint.
    """
    # If API key is provided, append it to the URL as a query param
    if api_key:
        # You might need to handle existing query params more robustly
        node_url = f"{node_url}?x-api-key={api_key}"

    # Construct flood command
    command = [
        'docker', 'run', '--rm',
        'ghcr.io/paradigmxyz/flood:latest',
        'eth_getBlockByNumber',
        f'{node_name}={node_url}',
        '--rates', '10', '100', '1000',
        '--duration', '5'
    ]

    try:
        result = subprocess.run(command, capture_output=True, text=True, check=True)
        print("Command Output:")
        print(result.stdout)
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print("Error Occurred:")
        print(e.stderr)
