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
Capture & Modify
HTTPS traffic from Android Apps
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.

How Requestly Simplifies Your Android Development
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.
Intercept HTTPS Traffic
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.
Edit the APIs in transit
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.
Simulate API Errors locally
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.
Simulate slow network
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.
Cross environment connection
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 Support
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.
Shared Team Workspaces
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.

How does it work?
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.
Setup App Interception
After you Download the Requestly Desktop App, setting up Requestly requires 3 easy steps to start intercepting your mobile app traffic.
Configure Wi-Fi Proxy
Download & Install Certificate
Ignore SSL pinning
Modify 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.
Record Traffic
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.
Bulk Mock Traffic
Create mocks of all the recorded APIs from a session, it’s like creating a prod-like backend service with 1 click.

Simple UI, Huge Impact Loved the intuitive UI for request body modification. Helped in confirming backend security with my senior engineer, even bested Postman Interceptor in some cases.

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.

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.
