  API Dash puts a full-featured API client right inside Chrome DevTools — no extra windows, no cloud accounts, no data leaving your machine.
  
  🔧 CORE FEATURES
  
  ▸ REST & GraphQL — Send any HTTP method, write GraphQL queries with variables, see formatted responses instantly.
  
  ▸ Request Builder — Headers, query params, body (JSON / form-data / raw / binary), auth presets (Bearer, Basic, API Key).
  
  ▸ Environment Variables — Create environments, reference {{variables}} in URLs, headers, and body. Switch between dev / staging / prod in one click.
  
  ▸ Collections & Folders — Organize requests into named collections. Drag into folders, reorder, duplicate. Your workspace stays tidy.
  
  ▸ Import from Postman — Drop in a Postman Collection v2.1 JSON file and start working immediately.
  
  ▸ Code Generation — Generate ready-to-use code from any request in 11 languages: cURL, JavaScript (fetch/axios), Python (requests/http.client), Go, Rust, PHP, Ruby, Java, C#, Swift.
  
  ▸ Request History — Every request you send is logged. Search, filter, and replay past requests.
  
  ▸ WebSocket Testing — Connect to WebSocket endpoints, send messages, and inspect frames in real time.
  
  👥 BUILT FOR TEAMS (New in v1.1.0)
  
  ▸ Shared Collections — Push any collection to your team workspace. Everyone sees the same endpoints, same structure, same examples.
  
  ▸ Shared Environments — Share environment configs across the team. Secret variables are automatically stripped before syncing — your API keys stay local.
  
  ▸ Role-Based Access — Four roles: Owner, Admin, Member, Viewer. Control who can share, edit, or just read.
  
  ▸ Team Invite Links — Create a team, get a shareable invite code. Teammates join in one click.
  
  ▸ Audit Log — See who shared what, when. Every team action is logged for accountability.
  
  ▸ Real-Time Sync — Changes to shared collections and environments appear for all team members instantly via live sync.
  
  🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST
  
  ▸ All request data stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB).
  ▸ No analytics tracking by default — telemetry is opt-in.
  ▸ Team sync uses encrypted connections. Secret environment variables never leave your machine.
  ▸ Zero cloud accounts required for solo use.

  API Dash is the API client built for Chrome DevTools.
  
    Test REST and GraphQL APIs without leaving your browser. No accounts. No cloud sync. No desktop app. Your data stays on your machine.
  
    WHAT MAKES API DASH DIFFERENT

    Zero setup.

    - Import collections from Postman (JSON export)
    - Import and export cURL commands
    - Import requests directly from the Chrome DevTools Network tab
    - Request chaining: use response values in subsequent requests

    PRIVACY FIRST
  
    API Dash never phones home. No analytics. No telemetry. No cloud. Your API keys, tokens, and request data never leave your machine.
    Credentials are encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. We believe your debug data is your business.
  
    BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS WHO
  
    - Test APIs daily and want them inside their existing workflow
    - Are tired of Postman requiring an account and syncing to the cloud
    - Need GraphQL support that Talend does not offer
    - Want code snippets in their language without copy-pasting from Stack Overflow
    - Care about where their API credentials are stored
  
    FREE TO USE
  
    API Dash is free with a 14-day Pro trial. Pro features (unlimited collections, request chaining, response assertions, WebSocket testing,
    unlimited code generation) are available for power users who want to support development.
  
    BUILT WITH MODERN STANDARDS
  
    Manifest V3 compliant. Will not be removed when Chrome phases out MV2 extensions. Built with TypeScript, Preact, and modern web standards.
