Debug APIs: Requests Before Traffic
Reproduce API requests first, then inspect actual app traffic if needed.
4 items · Updated Oct 18
Start API debugging with one client, chosen for local files, multiple protocols or your team's workflow. If the real app behaves differently, inspect traffic with a proxy; use test certificates only on controlled devices, restore proxy and trust settings afterward, and remove tokens before sharing logs.
- Start here for local request collections managed in Git; free open-source edition differs from paid Pro/Ultimate.
- Alternative for multi-protocol requests; free tier, no login for Scratch Pad. Team features depend on the plan.
- Connect web, desktop and self-hosted workflows; free and paid tiers. Self-hosting infrastructure costs are separate.
- Inspect actual proxy traffic after reproducing requests; paid with trial. HTTPS decryption needs explicit test-CA trust.
