Key Features

Web Debugger: According to the vendor, Requestly enables users to intercept and modify network requests, headers, API requests, and inject scripts. It also allows them to debug web applications directly in the browser and simulate different scenarios by modifying API responses and headers.

Session Replay: Requestly offers the ability to record and replay user interactions with network data, console logs, stack traces, and device information. Users can automatically capture user sessions on specified domains and share recorded sessions with team members for debugging purposes. The vendor claims that this feature provides detailed insights into user interactions and helps in reproducing issues.

Mock Server: With Requestly, users can quickly create mock API endpoints for testing without the need for an actual API. The vendor states that users can easily edit content type, status code, headers, and response body on the mock server. Additionally, they can generate custom API responses using an AI-based response generator and upload HTML/CSS/JS files to see them live in action.

API Client: Requestly offers a comprehensive and web-based tool for modifying and testing APIs. Users can import cURL requests from other API platforms, send API requests, and view the request history. The vendor claims that users can also create and test mock APIs to expedite development.

Android Debugger: According to the vendor, Requestly provides a free and open-source developer tool for Android apps. It allows users to intercept and modify API requests and responses directly on the device, without the need to configure proxy or install SSL certificates. Additionally, users can easily share browsing sessions with API logs, event logs, and crash stack traces.

Cross Device Testing: Requestly enables users to check how websites look on multiple devices, browsers, and dimensions. The vendor states that users can ensure a consistent user experience across different platforms, test responsiveness and compatibility on various devices, and save time by avoiding manual testing on different devices.

URL Redirect: Users can redirect URLs to another URL or map remote URLs using Requestly.

Custom Script Injection: According to the vendor, Requestly allows users to insert custom scripts to automate and change webpage behavior.

Request and Response Modification: Requestly offers the ability to modify request and response headers for HTTP(s) requests. Users can modify query parameters, content type, status code, and body of the response, according to the vendor.

Network Blocking and Delay: Users can block network requests and websites by specifying keywords or entire URLs using Requestly. The vendor also claims that users can delay requests by specifying keywords or entire URLs.
