Saved API Requests

Overview

Saved API requests is a local, browser-resident library for HTTP request templates: method, URL, headers, body, and an optional description. Save the requests you run again and again — the production health check, the staging seed script, the customer-support bulk-cancel call — and replay them later without rebuilding from scratch.

Backend developers who reach for the same handful of test calls every day, support engineers who want a quick way to fire off a parameterised request, and API designers who use the templates as living documentation all benefit from saved request templates. Long-tail keywords covered: save and reuse HTTP request templates, lightweight Postman alternative for browser, and store custom API calls locally.

How it works

Each saved request is a structured record: method (any HTTP verb), URL, a list of header pairs, an optional body (raw text, JSON, or form-encoded), a name, and notes. Storage lives in the browser — nothing leaves the device — so the templates persist across sessions on the same machine but do not sync to other devices automatically.

Loading a saved template into the HTTP Request Tester populates every field, ready to send. Variable substitution is intentionally minimal: copy the URL, edit the parameter, send. The goal is "a sticky note for the request I run every day", not a full collection-management product.

Examples

• "Prod healthcheck" — GET https://api.example.com/health with no body.
• "Issue new API key" — POST https://api.example.com/keys with Authorization: Bearer ... and a JSON body.
• "Customer search by email" — GET https://api.example.com/customers?email= ready to paste an address onto the URL.
• "Webhook test" — POST https://example.com/webhook with a sample payload and the right X-Signature header.

FAQ

Are the saved requests synced across devices?

No. They live in the browser's local storage on a single device. Export the list as JSON if you need to move them.

Are credentials stored in plain text?

The header values are stored verbatim in the same place the rest of the template lives. Treat the browser profile accordingly — do not save production secrets on a shared machine.

Can I share a template with a teammate?

Export the JSON for the template, send it through your usual secure channel, and ask them to import it. There is no cloud sharing built in.

Is there variable substitution?

The store is intentionally simple. For parameterised flows, copy the template and edit the changing fields before sending.
