Requestly is an Open-Source platform with essential tooling & integrations that helps frontend developers write, test & debug their code 10x faster 🚀.

Using Requestly, you can create mock API endpoints, test, validate & override API responses, modify request & response headers, setup redirects (Map local, Map remote) and use Requestly sessions for faster debugging.

👉 Getting Started

Requestly is available as browser extension on Chrome (& All Chromium-based browsers), Firefox & Edge and as a desktop app on Mac, Windows & Linux. Most of the features are present in both platforms barring a few differences.

Browser Extension is convenient but limited to the browser. Certain features like Overriding Response Body, Map Local works best with desktop app.

👉 Using Requestly for faster development

Frontend developers often rely on backend developers (or APIs) when building their UI features. In the development workflows, Requestly can help in the following scenarios

👉 Using Requestly for efficient & quality testing

Lot of frontend developToment happens in isolation but it is really important to test the changes end to end and ensure user flows aren’t broken. Frontend developers have to deal with environment complexity, not having all the data on local/staging setup, not having access to customer sites, etc. Requestly can help in the following scenarios

👉 Using Requestly for faster debugging

Frontend developers spend more than 1/3rd of their time debugging issues and lot of time is spent in getting complete context, getting information about the issue. Most of the times issue isn’t reproducible locally at their end. Requestly helps frontend developers in debugging faster in the following ways
