What is API Trace?
"API Trace" is a specialized Chrome extension designed to make web request monitoring simpler and detailed. Unlike other tools, API Trace lists not just the request but also the API response, giving users a complete picture. This tool can help in identifying patterns, troubleshooting API calls, and even serve as a rudimentary API documentation. Searching and filtering can be done based on the URI, request body, or API response, fulfilling a crucial need often overlooked in other similar tools.

Summary

There are many Chrome extension to monitor HTTP requests from AJAX calls, but many would capture only the request and not the response. Even though Chrome DevTools has the network tab, it is hard to get a consolidated view of all the requests and also the filtering capability there is limited to the URI end points, but it is often required to search based on the request body or the API response. To Address this, we have developed a Chrome extension. The data displayed can also serve as a high-level documentation for your API

I had fun creating this Chrome Extension, so I hope you enjoy using it. As always, for any feature requests or issues when using the extension, just let me know by emailing me [email protected].
