XApi HTTP Client - Api Testing Tool

About

Stop switching context between your browser and external API clients like Postman or Insomnia. XApi HTTP Client brings a full-featured API testing environment directly into your Chrome DevTools panel.

Built with the latest Manifest V3 technology, this extension allows you to intercept, inspect, edit, and replay HTTP requests without ever leaving your current tab. It provides advanced capabilities including support for modifying restricted request headers such as Origin, Referer, and User-Agent, giving you complete control over your API testing scenarios.

XApi HTTP Client is lightweight, secure, and designed specifically for frontend developers and QA engineers who need a seamless debugging experience directly in their browser environment.
