User Reviews

RESTED is widely praised as a simple, functional, and easy-to-use Firefox extension for REST testing. Reviewers highlight its usefulness, quick setup, and neat interface. Notable drawbacks mentioned include missing header value auto-complete, incomplete collections functionality, history-replay issues where form data may be lost, limited file upload support, and the inability to override certain headers (Origin) for SPA testing. Overall, it's a handy tool that works well for quick tasks but would benefit from improvements in collections, history handling, and advanced request options.
Pros

  • Functional and simple to use.
  • Easy to install and run.

Is RESTED Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

RESTED requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
