API console extension Extension
Recent changes:

- Added ability to proxy a File and FormData
Permissions
Access to your data on all websites
It is required to make HTTP requests to API endpoints. It means that the extension can make an HTTP request to any endpoint.
Privacy
This extension does not collect any kind of data (not even analytics). The extension reads the data passed to it from the API Console application and proxies them \"as-is\" to the API endpoint. The response is then proxied back to the application.
How does it work?
The extension will inject a tiny portion of JavaScript code into every webpage you visit. The API console fires a specific event before making a request. The JavaScript code will recognize this event and handle the request. It will not affect other web pages you visit.
