API inspectors and debuggers are essential tools for web application development. Being able to inspect API requests and responses makes debugging much easier and more effective.
I often use Chrome DevTools to check request and response data. I have also been using HTTP Tracker, but one important feature was missing: capturing the response body.Since HTTP Tracker is open source, I spent a long time exploring the codebase and trying to implement this feature, but I was not successful at first.
I finally found a solution by using Chrome Debugger Mode, which makes it possible to capture the response body. While working on this, I also improved the UI to make it clearer and easier to use.
The update includes:
Response body capture for selected requests only
UI improvements for better readability and usage
I plan to publish this version to the Chrome Store and also submit a PR to the original project so others can benefit from it.
I have added a short GIF demo to show how it works.
