Requestly is an Open-Source frontend development platform with essential tooling & integrations that helps frontend developers write, test & debug their code 10x faster. For a frontend developer, there is a lot of dependency on backend devs for building/updating the APIs, dependency on environment for end-to-end testing of the feature (e.g. checkout flow), and sometimes dependency on clients especially if the code is deployed on client’s website. For debugging an issue, without having information like console logs, network logs makes it harder for them to reproduce the issue.

Requestly (available as browser extension and desktop app) acts as local proxy on the device and enables frontend developers to reduce their dependency on backend devs, bypass environment complexity and provides complete control on network layer to inspect, capture & modify https requests & responses.

πŸ‘‰ Problems that Requestly solves
Build features when backend API is not ready
Testing, Validating and Mocking API responses
Testing code changes directly on production sites without deployment cycles
Stress testing of application
Faster bug reporting and debugging using Requestly sessions
Requestly provides core capabilities of Charles Proxy, Fiddler, Postman & Chrome dev tools in one place integrated seamlessly.

πŸ‘‰ Building frontend features when backend (APIs) is not ready (Using API Mock Server)
Requestly comes with an in-built API Mock server that can be used to quickly create Mock API endpoints. You can simply define the API response you need with additional capabilities like latency, status code, method, etc.

Requestly Mock Server automatically handles CORS so you can use the Mock API endpoints in your code without worrying about CORS Issues.

API Mock Server can be used in Private Workspace as well as Team Workspace.
