+# Testing scripts
+
+This directory contains some scripts that you can use to test the API. For them to work, you need to
+specify the URL of your Agama server (it might be running, for instance, on a virtual machine):
+
+```
+export AGAMA_URL=https://192.168.122.10
+```
+
+## Logging in
+
+Before running any other script, you need to log into the API. You can use the `login.sh` script for
+that. It will generate a `headers.txt` file that contains the authentication token. By default, it
+uses the password `linux`, which is hardcoded into the script.
+
+```
+$ ./login.sh
+Logging in https://192.168.122.10
+Using token eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJleHAiOjE3NjU2MzA2MjYsImNsaWVudF9pZCI6IjczNTJmYzFjLWVlNGItNDUzMC05NzY2LTFiMGEyODk3ZDlkZCJ9.fjkk4mab0mTEc-e3IevhKJu2pOkz6Ie0kVQD9GXZ_ZQ
+
+```
+
+## Setting the configuration
+
+The `set-config.sh` script allows to partially update the configuration. It receives a JSON file
+containing the body of the PATCH request. Check `examples/*.patch.json` for some examples.
+
+```
+$ ./set-config.sh examples/tumbleweed.patch.json
+```
+
+You can check the user configuration using the `get-config.sh` script.
+
+## Getting the status
+
+There are a few scripts to retrieve different aspects of the system (status, system information,
+configuration, etc.). Check for `get-*.sh` scripts.
+
+## Listening to events
+
+You can listen to Agama events using the `monitor-*.sh` scripts:
+
+- `monitor-websocat.sh`: it relies on [websocat](https://github.com/vi/websocat). Unfortunately, the
+  program is not available in the official openSUSE repositories, so you might need to use
+  `cargo install` (or `cargo binstall`).
+- `monitor-curl.sh`: it uses `curl` under the hood. The output is less convenient, but you do not
+  need an extra tool (TODO: improve the `curl` invocation).
