VWS Mock

Mock for the Vuforia Web Services (VWS) API and the Vuforia Web Query API.

Using the mock redirects requests to Vuforia made with requests to an in-memory implementation.

pip install vws-python-mock

This requires Python 3.12+.

"""Make a request to the Vuforia Web Services API mock."""

import requests

from mock_vws import MockVWS
from mock_vws.database import VuforiaDatabase

with MockVWS() as mock:
    database = VuforiaDatabase()
    mock.add_database(database=database)
    # This will use the Vuforia mock.
    requests.get("https://vws.vuforia.com/summary", timeout=30)

By default, an exception will be raised if any requests to unmocked addresses are made.

It is possible run a Mock VWS instance using Docker containers.

This allows you to run tests against a mock VWS instance regardless of the language or tooling you are using.

See the the instructions for how to do this.

See the full documentation. This includes details on how to use the mock, options, and details of the differences between the mock and the real Vuforia Web Services.
