Open-source alternative to Wireshark
Wireshark is a popular network protocol analyzer that is widely used by network administrators and security professionals to troubleshoot network issues and analyze network traffic. It excels in providing comprehensive capture and deep packet analysis, making it a robust tool for diagnosing network issues and understanding traffic patterns.
On the other hand, Requestly, much like Wireshark, is an open-source tool, which offers even more customization and flexibility for users. With Requestly, you can easily modify and redirect HTTP/S requests, manage CORS headers, and create API mock endpoints which are not available in Wireshark. Moreover, it allows you to create rule-based redirects and recordings to automate your testing and debugging tasks.

For the developers, by the developers ❤️
Requestly is awesome. I used to use Charles proxy in my day-to-day work but it always messed with my wifi. I haven’t had any issues with Requestly. Requestly’s UI is an amazing tool and great to work in.
Requestly not just made it easier for us to develop, test & debug our code on our customer sites but also helped us do engaging product demos to our prospective clients.
I’m a big fan of Requestly, and use it on a daily basis as a QA Engineer. It removes the need to use Charles Proxy often, which is always nice. I can just use Requestly directly in Chrome
Awesome tool. I use it almost daily for my projects to modify request body, headers, etc. Would recommend it to every frontend developer out there. Thank me later 🙂 (Case Study)
This is by far the best tool for managing request headers! Plus the developers are very active meaning you’ll get help if you’re ever stuck or need help solving a problem. I use it daily and couldn’t be happier.
App works as expected! Ran into some small issues while creating the rules but the support team was able to help and overcome those.
Requestly is user-friendly, brilliant and easy-to-use. I use it on an daily basis and it makes my work easier. After using other tools like Charles – Requestly is a nice new breath of air that I highly vouch for. Apart from the tool being amazing – the support from the Requestly team is phenomenal with them always going above and beyond for their clients.
Requestly is an amazing tool to get your development work less hassle. The product itself has evolved so much since day-1 and the company is really serious on helping their customer solves their problems. We had this nice session where they shared Requestly features and we were very impressed on its potential. A truly 5-star worthy.
Just loved the way Requestly saved several person hours for our dev team by allowing us to redirect and intercept requests. The simple yet efficient rules allowed us to seamlessly redirect requests from a single staging front-end server to local backend servers. This meant that our devs didn’t need to build or run the front-end server locally when focusing on backend tasks.
Requestly is an incredibly useful tool for developers working on a large team with multiple staging envs, or numerous app endpoints for various APIs in a local environment. The Sessions feature is especially useful for documenting solutions or sharing with others since it captures the relevant network traffic, and screen recording enables others to easily reproduce. Requestly combines all the power of complicated tools like Charles Proxy and Postman in one app/chrome extension. I highly recommend giving it a try if you haven’t already–it will make your dev work so much easier. (Summarized)
Modifying requests and/or responses is the killer feature area for me. Redirect JS in prod, generate mocks, modify headers, map local, map remote, SessionReplay, Load a local JS bundle, override scripts, etc. etc. etc. – TOTALLY worth it and very useful.
