    HTTP Toolkit

    HTTP Toolkit

    HTTP Toolkit

    Skim through traffic with highlighting by content type, status & source, or use powerful filtering tools to precisely match the messages that matter to you. Examine the URL, status, headers & body of each request or response, with inline explanations & docs from MDN. Dig into message bodies with highlighting & auto formatting for JSON, HTML, JS, hex and others, all using the power of Monaco, the editor from Visual Studio Code. Precisely match requests, jump to them when they appear, and edit anything: the target URL, method, headers or body. Manually respond directly to requests as they arrive, or pass them upstream, and pause & edit the real response on the way back. Step through HTTP traffic request by request, or manually mock endpoints and errors. Create rules to match requests and respond with your own content, to quickly prototype against new endpoints or services.

Use .setMetadata() to easily adjust the data to your debugging requirements. See the user’s taps around your app, .log() custom events and see all their network traffic prior to reporting the bug to you. On the web Dashboard you can, for example, effortlessly find only bugs reported from iPad Airs that were in landscape mode and offline. Get bug notifications immediately in your team chat.
