Fetch Log - API Inspector

About

**TL;DR:**  
Fetch Log is the Chrome extension DevTools should have shipped. It strips away the noise, capturing only real API (fetch/XHR) traffic in a persistent, developer-focused popup—no static assets, no bloat, no learning curve.

---

**What’s actually happening?**  
- Real-time monitoring of HTTP API requests using the Debugger API  
- Live, filterable feed: case-insensitive, persistent filters  
- Drilldown: Pretty-printed JSON, syntax highlighting, one-click copy for headers, bodies, or responses  
- Auto-refreshes pending requests; dark mode for late-night debugging  
- All data is local, ephemeral, and under your control—no tracking, no analytics

**Why bother?**  
- DevTools’ Network tab is a haystack; Fetch Log is the needle  
- Lightweight, popup UI (400x600) with zero setup—install and go  
- Remembers your filters, highlights endpoints, and gets out of your way  
- Built for frontend devs, API integrators, and anyone tired of sifting through web cruft

**Limitations (aka: honesty is a feature):**  
- No chrome:// or extension page debugging  
- One tab at a time; debugger detaches on tab switch  
- HTTP(S) only—no WebSocket voodoo  
- Popup closes on navigation (Chrome’s rules, not ours)

**Perfect for:**  
REST/GraphQL wranglers, API explorers, anyone who wants a sharper, simpler network inspector.

**Install it. Use it. Stop fighting DevTools.**
