Test API Endpoints Effortlessly
The HTTP Request Tester allows you to send various types of requests directly from your browser to test and debug APIs. You can easily configure request bodies, use form URL-encoded data, and include authentication headers such as Bearer tokens or custom keys. By analyzing the raw response from the server, developers can quickly identify issues with status codes, headers, and JSON payloads without needing complex local development environments or extra software.
Bypass CORS Restrictions Safely
Many APIs do not support Cross-Origin Resource Sharing, which often blocks requests made directly from a web browser. The request is routed through a server-side proxy so that target APIs without CORS support can be tested too. Request and response pass through our server for this, but are never stored. This setup ensures you can test any endpoint regardless of browser restrictions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I include a Bearer token in my request?
You can add authentication by using the dedicated field for Bearer tokens or by adding custom keys. The tool allows you to specify these headers so that your API requests are properly authorized and processed, allowing you to see the full response from the target server.
Why does the tool use a proxy for some requests?
The request is routed through a server-side proxy so that target APIs without CORS support can be tested too. Request and response pass through our server for this, but are never stored. This ensures that browser restrictions do not prevent you from testing your specific API endpoints.
Can I send form-encoded data to an endpoint?
Yes, the tool supports sending requests with a body using the Form URL-encoded option. You can add multiple fields to construct the request as needed. This is ideal for testing endpoints that require specific parameters or standard form submissions to return successful results.
