Very simple to use and super useful! Great support too. Thank you!
Requestly can intercept, decrypt, modify, redirect, and mock HTTP(s) traffic from your Android apps running on an emulator or a physical device for faster development.
Requestly is user-friendly, brilliant, and easy to use. I use it on a 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.
Android Developers use Requestly during local development, testing, and debugging to solve various problems.
Here are the most common problems you can solve with Requestly.
During the development of Android apps, watching your app’s traffic can give you better control and confidence. You can ensure data integrity, no redundant API calls, and no obvious errors in API calls before releases.
Modify requests by defining simple rules to simulate different scenarios in your app like large data sets, alternative responses, empty responses, alternative request bodies, etc.
Applications are developed considering different error scenarios in mind, simulating those errors on local or staging is not straightforward. Requestly can save hours of fiddling with the backend by modifying your API calls to simulate error responses.
Network conditions can be unpredictable on users’ devices, as developers we need to ensure that the app works in degraded networks and handles the network state gracefully. The delay rule enables you to simulate network delays or slow processes.
Sometimes production apps show strange bugs that are hard to debug with production APIs due to a lack of debugging info. Requestly can connect your app to staging or a local backend or vice-versa to debug locally.
GraphQL’s single-endpoint design can hinder targeted API modification. Requestly solves this with operation name filters, enabling precise response manipulation in GraphQL environments – just as you’d expect with REST APIs.
All the mocks and request modification rules can be shared with team members using team workspaces. This helps in better collaboration among teams and faster delivery.
Requestly is easy to set up and use. First, we set up the Mobile Interception. Then, we can easily record traffic and mock & modify APIs locally by creating simple rules.
After you Download the Requestly Desktop App, setting up Requestly requires 3 easy steps to start intercepting your mobile app traffic.
Modify API calls from the network requests table. 1 Click creation of Mock APIs, redirect network calls, modify headers, add delays to the requests, block requests, and much more.
Mobile app traffic can be filtered and saved for bulk mocking, sharing with the team, or save it for referencing later. You can also create HTTP Rules to replicate those difficult edge cases.
Create mocks of all the recorded APIs from a session, it’s like creating a prod-like backend service with 1 click.

Great tool and great support!
An essential tool for any frontend developer. I would be far less efficient if it did not exist and not only that, their level of support is stellar and they’re always improving and adding more features too!
We are using this extension in my current company as frontend developers to modify API responses and it works very very well. Highly recommend it.
Does exactly what we need it to for testing new scripts. Also allows our sales teams to get easy access to Staging versions of our products. Support from Requestly is very strong as well.
Requestly’s browser extension is remarkably easy to use. As a full-stack developer, I often need to test data-intensive UI for edge cases and performance. Using Requestly I can do it very easily by mocking network requests, without needing code changes or database seeding.
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.
Great tool for frontend developers and QA tester for API response, redirects, mock data and much more. Requestly removes the dependency on waiting for backend API’s. Really useful to have in your frontend development environment.
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)
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)
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.
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.
