How to make a certain API be called continuously

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Hi, I have a scenario which I need to have an API to be called continuously, assume that my V.user will need 6 seconds to complete a workflow:

exec(
    API1
    API2 //this API will need to be called every 100 milliseconds until last API(n) is called
    API3 
    ...
)

Is there a way/function in Gatling support this feature? TYIA :smiley:

You can’t have this kind of background task.
Instead, you can wrap your API calls into a loop and triggers the desired requests based on some condition (doIf, switch, etc).

I’m not sure if I understood you correctly but I think that this is possible.
In code where I try to create solution for token refresh, you can see code that is checking if it’s time for refresh token in loop (your background task) but main code doing own work.
Check this simulation:
