Chrome DevTools Extension · v1.5

API traffic in DevTools — capture, inspect, export, replay

Record XHR/fetch, export Postman + cURL ZIP, spot slow APIs, optional PII audit & AI analysis — all without leaving DevTools.

No backend
Keys stored locally
PII scan off by default

Everything you need inside DevTools

Built for frontend engineers, QA, and security-minded teams debugging SPAs.

Live capture & inspector

Record XHR/fetch in real time. Inspect headers, payload, and response body like the Network tab.

One-click Postman + cURL export

Download a ZIP with Postman collection v2.1, environment variables, and per-request cURL files.

Performance reports

Slow API detection (>5s) with SLOW badges and Excel-ready CSV reports in the export bundle.

PII audit (opt-in)

Heuristic scan for email, phone, SSN, and more. Masked samples only — off by default.

AI flow analysis

OpenAI or Gemini with local key storage. PII redacted before sending to the provider.

Storage editor

View and edit localStorage & sessionStorage for the inspected tab. Inline edit, add, delete.

How it works

Three steps from capture to handoff.

1

Open DevTools

Right-click any page → Inspect. Find the Requstrix tab alongside Network and Console.

2

Start capture

Hit Start and browse your app. XHR/fetch calls appear live with method, status, and duration.

3

Download ZIP / Analyze

Export Postman + cURL bundle, run optional AI analysis, or hand off to QA with performance & PII reports.

Export bundle preview

One click on Download All Curls gives your team everything needed to replay and review API traffic.

Privacy & trust

Your traffic stays on your machine.

🔑 AI keys local only

OpenAI and Gemini API keys are stored in your browser. Never sent to a Requstrix server — there isn't one.

🚫 No Requstrix backend

100% client-side capture and export. Your API traffic never leaves your machine unless you export or run AI analysis.

🔒 PII scan off by default

You must explicitly enable PII scanning. Findings show masked samples only — heuristic detection, not legal advice.

FAQ

What requests does Requstrix capture?

XHR and fetch API calls from the inspected tab. It does not capture page navigations or WebSocket traffic.

How do I import into Postman?

Download the ZIP, import the collection JSON, then the environment file. Use environment variables for secrets — the export strips them from the collection automatically.

Is PII scanning enabled by default?

No. PII scan is opt-in only. You must check the "PII scan" checkbox to enable detection. All samples in the UI and reports are masked.

Which AI providers are supported?

OpenAI (GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini) and Google Gemini. Choose your provider, save your API key locally, and run batch analysis on captured traffic.

What counts as a slow API?

Any request with a response time over 5 seconds gets a SLOW badge and appears in the slow APIs CSV report.
