Whether you’re a developer, QA engineer, or anyone working with HTTP requests and APIs, Requestly can help you intercept and analyze network traffic in real-time. This makes debugging issues or testing changes easier without touching the code.
How does Requestly Interceptor work?
Requestly HTTP interceptor is a web proxy that runs on your computer. By routing network requests through Requestly, you can intercept all the network traffic made by the browser or your application.
Reading and modifying any web request and response opens up a world of possibilities for debugging and analyzing your application. You can:
-
Pinpoint Issues: Identify network errors, slow responses, or missing resources.
-
Test Edge Cases: Simulate server errors or unexpected payloads.
-
Inject Mock Data: Replace live responses with custom data.
-
Optimize APIs: Refine requests to enhance performance.
