Features & Capabilities

Resting is a Chrome extension designed for developers and testers to debug, inspect, and test HTTP APIs swiftly and visually. It offers a clean and lightweight interface to efficiently handle HTTP requests including multipart, x-www-form-urlencoded, raw data, and file uploads.

Key features include support for BASIC, OAuth 2.0, and JWT authentication, tabbed multiple requests, and HTTP header auto-completion. Users can highlight and navigate JSON responses, copy outputs to clipboard, and view response headers. Resting also supports the use of variables organized into contexts for flexible request building.

Users can save requests as bookmarks organized into folders with import/export capabilities. Privacy is a strong focus, with all data stored locally on the device's Indexed DB ensuring no data is sent over the internet. Inspired by Postman, Resting offers a community-friendly, efficient, offline HTTP client to streamline daily API testing workflows.

🔥 I don't understand how this doesn't have more love - it's so freakin good! Postman alternative that's easy, free, and in your browser. Thanks Mirko! 🔥

Is Resting 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.

Resting requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Resting has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
