  What is API Homie?
  
  API Homie is your friendly companion for debugging API requests right in your browser. Whether you're a frontend developer integrating with APIs, a QA engineer testing error scenarios, or a backend developer validating request formats, API Homie makes API debugging fast and intuitive.
  
   Key Features
  
   Request Inspection

  Mock Manager
  • Create custom mock responses for any API endpoint
  • Edit response data, status codes, and response delays
  • Toggle mocks on/off without deleting them

  • Test frontend without backend changes
  • Perfect for development and testing
  
  X-Ray Mode
  • Trace API response data directly to DOM elements
  • Hover over page elements to see their data source
  • Instantly find where API data is rendered on the page
  • Debug data binding issues in SPAs
