Sparrow v2.27.0: Smarter Inputs & Smarter Mocks!
Release Date: July 2, 2025
Hey Sparrow Explorers,
We’re back with another powerful update! 🚀 Sparrow 2.27 brings multimodal AI input support and intelligent mock response ratios, giving you even more control over your API tests and AI workflows. From richer context to probabilistic mocking—let’s dive in!
🚀 What’s New?
🧠 Sparrow AI: Now Supports File Attachments for Context:
- Give your AI chats more depth with the ability to upload files directly in your prompts.
- Attach Files to AI Prompts,Upload up to 5 .pdf or .txt files directly into your AI conversation for smarter, more context-aware responses.
- Click the Attachment button next to the Send icon to open the file explorer.
- Tooltips & toasts guide your file usage: Max 5 files, supported formats only.
- Upload progress indicators + the option to remove uploaded files with a click.
- Error toasts notify you of failed uploads or invalid formats.
- Files remain visible throughout the session when Auto Clear is OFF—and persist in conversation history.
- Only supported models (like OpenAI’s gpt-4o, gpt-4-turbo, etc.) allow file uploads; others like DeepSeek or Anthropic will have the option disabled automatically.
🧪 Mock Server: Weighted Mocking via Response Ratios
It’s time to control how your mock server behaves—introducing Response Ratios! Set Response Ratios for Mock APIs. Simulate probabilistic API behavior with customizable ratio weights for each mock response.
What’s New:
- Ratio Popup: Assign percentage weights to each active response (total must equal 100%).
- Progress Bar Feedback: Visually track your ratio distribution before saving.
- Validations for total percentage, blank fields, invalid inputs, and more.
- Persisted Ratios: Saved ratios are auto loaded when you revisit the modal.
- Weighted Execution: Sparrow mock server returns responses based on the assigned ratio logic over time.
- Inactive Responses Excluded: Any disabled or zero-ratio response is automatically excluded from execution.
- Disabling an Active Response? You’ll now see a confirmation modal if the response has an assigned ratio. Upon confirmation, the ratio is reset, and the response is excluded from distribution.
✨ Enhancements: Smooth Moves Ahead
- We’ve polished the little details that make a big difference.
- Updated UI Animations
- We’ve refreshed animations across the app to make user interactions feel smoother, snappier, and more intuitive. From modals to buttons to popups, transitions are now more fluid—making your workflow not just faster, but more delightful.
It’s the kind of change you don’t always see, but you’ll definitely feel. 💫
⚠️ Known Glitches
Here’s what we’re still refining—because perfection takes time:
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.
- In certain cases, AI responses may lack consistency, affecting the reliability of results.
- Some cURL imports might result in incomplete or error-prone imports under certain conditions.
- In Save Response, export intermittently fails without an error message in webapp.
- Swagger YAML link is not supported while adding a Collection for Active Sync.
- Sometimes, switching models does not retain the previous logic or context.
- File upload for LLMs is currently in beta. You may experience occasional issues with uploading, file preview visibility, or model compatibility.

Hey there, Sparrow Innovators!
Get ready to experience unmatched control and intelligence in your API workflows! Sparrow 2.24 brings dynamic Test Flow block management, Mock Server control, and the debut of AI-powered LLM Bot creation. Whether you’re debugging, mocking, or building intelligent bots—this release supercharges your toolbox with smarter, smoother, and more powerful capabilities!
🚀What’s New?
Smart Test Flow Structuring:
Add, Rewire, Delete & Seamlessly Reconnect Blocks
- This release brings a major upgrade to the Test Flow module, allowing dynamic control over blocks. Users can now add blocks in between, rewire existing ones, auto-reconnect flows after deletions, and re-run flows seamlessly. These features make test flow design more intuitive, flexible, and capable of handling complex scenarios.
Insert Block Before/After Any Block
- Users can add a new block before or after any existing block using the three-dot (menu) options.
- The flow automatically reconnects and updates visually, maintaining logical sequence.
- Users can add blocks anywhere in between using the “+” icon and disconnect the flow at any point using the cross “×” icon.
Rewire Flow Connections Freely
- Blocks can be manually disconnected and reconnected using node strings.
- Example: Connect the 2nd block to the 4th, bypassing the 3rd (which remains idle and can be reconnected later).
- Disconnected blocks will not execute or show a response unless reconnected.
Drag & Drop Support for Rewiring
- Users can reposition disconnected blocks using drag-and-drop and reconnect them easily.
- Node-level string stretching allows flexible connection between blocks.
Auto-Reconnect After Block Deletion
- When a block is deleted, the system intelligently reconnects the previous block to the next one.
- Edge cases like deleting the first or last block are handled without breaking the flow.
- If the deleted block has dependent dynamic expressions, a warning is shown before deletion.
Run Flow with Updated Configuration
- After adding, deleting, or rewiring any block(s), the “Run Test Flow” button becomes active.
- The test flow runs based on the current connections and order and provides test run report in test flow history section.
Introducing Mock Server Management: Create, Organize, and Control Mock Collections, Folders, and APIs
This release delivers comprehensive features to streamline mock server creation and management, improving user control and workflow efficiency:
Mock Collection Creation
- Users can create new mock collections from multiple entry points including the left-hand side (LHS) panel, the “+” icon near the search bar, and the main layout. New mock collections appear in an inactive state with editable names and clear status indicators for enhanced user experience.
Folder and Mock API Management
- Within collections, users can add, rename, and delete folders and mock REST APIs through intuitive UI controls. Editable names, confirmation popups, and toast notifications ensure smooth management.
Mock Server Controls
- Users can start, stop, and monitor the status of the mock server via the main layout. The “Run Mock” button is present in mock collection overview page, with real-time status (Inactive / Running) clearly displayed.
Mock URL Handling
- The mock URL is prominently displayed with a copy icon for easy sharing. A “Learn More” link opens a help popup guiding users to relevant documentation.
Overview and History Sections
- The overview tab summarizes the number of folders and APIs within the collection, along with descriptions. Recent request history shows user activity with placeholders where functionality is forthcoming.
Rename and Delete Operations
- Rename and delete options are available for mock collections, folders, and API requests, with confirmation dialogs and success/failure toasts for user feedback.
Mock API Testing and Validation
- Use mock API URLs to simulate different response codes and body types. Users can click the Try button to test mock APIs as REST APIs, or copy and paste the URL to REST API. They can also modify the endpoint to mock data and receive the corresponding response body and status code, validating correct responses and behavior.
This enhanced mock server functionality enables users to efficiently build and manage API mocking scenarios, improving development and testing workflows.

🚀What’s New?
Collection-Level Authentication
- Managing authentication just got easier! With Collection-Level Authentication, users can set authentication details once at the collection level, eliminating the need to configure it for each individual API request.
- New Button in Collection Menu – Easily create entities using a new button dropdown.
- Set Auth for Collections – Configure authentication directly from the collection menu for a seamless experience.
- Inherited Auth Option – Users can quickly apply collection-level authentication across all APIs within the collection by selecting the "Inherit Auth" option.
- This saves time, ensuring consistency and reducing repetitive setup. Any changes made to collection auth will automatically reflect in all associated APIs, including those in Test Flow.
Enhanced Tab Management
Users can now efficiently manage tabs with new right-click options:
- Close Tab
- Close Other Tabs
- Close All Tabs
- Force Close Other Tabs
- Force Close All Tabs
- Duplicate Tab
These options provide greater flexibility in handling multiple API requests seamlessly.
- Save API Responses & Rename Requests in Sparrow Edge and Web App
- Send an API request and save responses for future reference with a single click.
- Rename API requests directly from the LHS panel for better organization.
- Design System Enhancements for a Smoother Experience
- Improved AI Chatbot UI & updated Team Cards for a better user experience.
- Refined WebSocket, Socket.IO, and Environment UI for a seamless interface.
- Alert Messages added in REST, GraphQL, and Test Flows for better user guidance.
🐞 Squashed Bugs:
Now Sparrow is smoother than a freshly buttered pancake.
- Long-named APIs in Test Flow like to stretch their limits—sometimes beyond the UI’s comfort zone.
- Test Flow Tour Guides have a mind of their own—occasionally misaligned but still guiding.
⚠️ Known Glitches
Here’s what we’re still refining—because perfection takes time:
- The "Open in Workspace" button occasionally takes a detour.
- Query Explorer and Editor sync issues might play a bit of hide-and-seek in GraphQL.
