Requestly: A well-documented Telerik Fiddler alternative
Fiddler is a mature web-debugging proxy, but it runs at the system level: certificate installs, proxy config, and VPN conflicts come with it. Requestly gives you the same intercept-and-modify power browser-native, cross-platform, with none of the proxy ceremony.
Things Requestly does differently
Browser-native interception, cross-platform reach, and GraphQL support, without the system-level proxy setup Fiddler requires.
Browser-native, so it stays fast and lightweight
Requestly lives inside the browser and uses native Chrome APIs, which makes it much faster and more lightweight than Fiddler, with no system-level proxy or VPN issues to work around.
- Runs in the browser on native Chrome APIs
- Faster and more lightweight than Fiddler
- Zero proxy and VPN issues
A gentle learning curve, with the docs to match
Requestly is designed from the ground up for a shallow learning curve. Detailed documentation, a learning academy, interactive guides, and video tutorials get you to power-user level from day one.

First-class GraphQL support
Requestly offers dedicated support for GraphQL APIs. Fiddler is designed for REST and struggles with GraphQL's schema-based request structure, forcing extra filtering to isolate specific operations within a request.

- No extra filtering to isolate operations
