For a long time, I loved using Postman for API testing. Ever since the Chrome apps got deprecated, the experience was not the same anymore.
Since then, I have been using Charles, Insomnia, and some other tools.
This week I discovered an experimental feature in Microsoft Edge which allows you to edit and replay API calls from within the browser. The feature is called network console
, and you need to activate it currently under the experimental
features of the DevTools.
Once you activate this experimental feature, refresh your page, and right-click on an API call. This should make the edit and replay
available, which opens the new network console.
This will be your new playground for API testing:
Info: Personally, this is a splendid feature because you do not have to take care of auth. All tokens/cookies/headers are already added to the API call, so all you need to do is start testing and changing your parameters.
