About Requestly
Requestly is an API client for building, organizing and testing HTTP requests. It supports environments and variables, GraphQL, SOAP and gRPC requests, collection runs, and API tests with assertions. Collections can be kept as local JSON files under Git, synced with a team, or self-hosted, and collections can be imported from Postman.
It also includes an HTTP interceptor, available as an extension for Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, for changing requests, redirects and headers in the browser. A CLI and team features such as SSO and role-based access are also offered.
