ApiRequest.io Ajax Capture Debugging Tool Extension

Api Request Capture

This extension allows you to capture AJAX HTTP requests and responses made to an API from any websites such as from a React single-page app.

Background: When debugging single-page apps by inspecting API network traffic, often developers need to manually copy/paste the JSON payload to share with others for help on API behavior. The Api Request capture tool allows you to do that much easier.

What makes this tool different?

Compared to other API request captures tools like Postman Interceptor, we actually captures the entire API call (i.e. both request and response and full headers and body) and make it easily sharable.

What the current Update:

- Now, the captured API request will be send to your Moesif Account to leverage all the advanced API analytics and sharing capabilities. Under 30,000 events/month is completely free.

About Moesif:
