HTTP Toolkit - Requestly
HTTP Toolkit is a strong desktop interceptor, but it needs an installed app, a system proxy, and a trusted SSL certificate. Requestly gives you the same intercept-and-modify power from the browser with none of that setup.
HTTP Toolkit intercepts from the desktop. Requestly does it from the browser.
It is a capable desktop interceptor. The friction is everything you set up before you can use it, and the request types and team features it leaves out.
A capable desktop interceptor
- Intercept and modify HTTP headers, responses, and URLs
- Request breakpoints
- A built-in mock server
The setup and the gaps it leaves
- Requires an installed app, a system-level proxy, and a trusted SSL certificate
- No GraphQL support
- No script injection or page-level filters
- No shared workspaces for team collaboration
- No built-in API client
Things Requestly does differently
Browser-based interception with none of the proxy-and-certificate setup, plus GraphQL support, scripting, and team collaboration HTTP Toolkit leaves out.
Intercept from the browser, with zero setup
Requestly runs as a browser extension on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers, using native Chrome APIs to stay fast and lightweight. You install it in a few clicks, with no desktop application, no system-level proxy, and no SSL certificate to set up.
- Works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Chromium browsers
- Native Chrome APIs keep it fast and lightweight
- No installed app, system proxy, or SSL certificate
Modify requests, responses, and GraphQL
Change HTTP headers, rewrite API responses, and redirect URLs, then go further with script injection and page-level filters. Requestly also supports GraphQL APIs, which HTTP Toolkit, built for REST, has to work around with extra filtering to isolate operations.
- Modify HTTP headers, API responses, and URLs
- Inject scripts and apply page-level filters
- GraphQL support, not just REST
Collaboration across your team
Create shared workspaces and synchronize rules across team members, so everyone has instant access to the same setup and no one rebuilds work that already exists.
- Shared workspaces for the whole team
- Rules stay synchronized across members
- No duplicated setup work
Enterprise-ready
For larger teams, Requestly adds the security and organizational controls they need: SSO, team management, SLAs, SOC-II compliance, reporting and analytics, and role-based access control.
- SSO and role-based access control
- Team management and SLAs
- SOC-II compliance, reporting, and analytics
