![]() ![]() We are now building an open-source Android SDK that lets developers view their API traffic (and analytics events) on the web. The free plan has almost every feature but is limited to 3 modification rules. Requestly is available as a browser extension on Chromium and Firefox, as well as a desktop app on MacOS, Windows, and Linux systems. ![]() Requestly intercepts your local network traffic and provides capabilities like Mocking API Response, Simulate HTTP(s) Status Codes, Switching API endpoints, Redirect Production Traffic (or selective API) to stage/local environment, Inject scripts on web pages, and much more. For example - as a frontend engineer at Uber, I’d like to test how my app would react if the driver allocation API doesn’t respond on time - will there be an automatic retry, or does the app crash? I’d clarify this as Postman is an API development platform, while Requestly is an API debugging and testing platform. We are also simplifying mobile app debugging by building a native SDK that anyone can connect to our Web. It’d be fair to say that we are building a better alternative to Charles Proxy. Collaboration is missing, data extraction and offline history are missing. You might have used solutions like Charles Proxy earlier! Charles is good and I am myself a huge fan, but when it comes to modification capabilities-setting up redirects or mocking API responses-it requires a lot of work. I did a bit of both there and decided to work on Requestly full time to solve these problems. In a later job at Blinkit (10min delivery platform in India), I saw how mobile app debugging is hard, and similar problems exist in backend development. It started to gain traction organically and today it serves more than 40K monthly active users. I just loved working on Requestly so I kept maintaining the project over weekends and supporting users. My team and I debugged a lot of customer issues using this tool, which eventually became Requestly. I was then able to do logging and gradually pinpoint the exact issue and where I could optimize. It was so hard to debug with the minified production version of the script, I built a tool to perform a simple redirect of production JS to my locally running JS. Requestly also lets you simulate different failover and edge case scenarios which are hard to simulate without code changes.īack in 2014, I was working on Adobe Target and I had a customer issue where the delivered campaign was showing FOUC (Flash of Unstyled Content) on the customer’s website and It was intermittent. Requestly saves you time by letting you test your APIs faster without deployment on staging. ![]() When developers work with APIs on their local machine, current experience is very broken. We’re available as a browser extension as well as a desktop app and Requestly is useful whether you are a web developer, backend developer, or mobile developer. Requestly is software that lets you intercept network requests, modify, and debug them. Hi HN, My name is Sachin - I’m the founder of Requestly ( ) and I’m very happy to be here and get feedback from you all. ![]()
