Hey Requestlians 👋,

Here is another exciting update from Requestly. Let’s jump in👇🏻

🚀 Shared State: A New Way to Manage Data Across Rules

We’ve introduced a powerful new feature called Shared State. This allows you to store and retrieve data within and across Modify Request Body and Modify Response Body rules. It’s perfect for:

  • Set Shared State variables while modifying requestBody and consume them while modifying responseBody
  • Modify Request or Response Body based on condition like It is N=3rd request
  • Managing tokens or values across different API requests

📦 Bulk Actions for File Server

Good news! We’ve addressed the bulk actions functionality for the File Server.

💾 Local Storage Support in Sessions

We have introduced support for capturing LocalStorage in Requestly Sessions. Requestly helps you capture the events whenever there is a change in the local storage.

🔗 Connect Existing Browsers to Desktop App

Now you can provide an additional filter to define whether your javascript should be injected on the main window or Iframe or all windows. By default, Script is injected in all windows.

  • Quick endpoint modification and testing

  • Smooth integration with existing workflows
