About API Tester

The API tester sends HTTP requests to any endpoint, letting you test APIs without writing code. Perfect for exploring public APIs, debugging endpoints, testing authentication, or verifying API responses before implementation.

Supports all HTTP methods, custom headers, and various body formats. Response viewer formats JSON automatically and displays status codes and headers for debugging.

Limitation: Browser CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) policies may block requests to APIs that don't allow browser-based access. APIs must include appropriate CORS headers. For unrestricted testing, use server-side tools (Postman, curl) or browser extensions that bypass CORS.

Frequently asked questions

CORS errors occur when APIs don't allow browser-based requests from other domains. The API server must return Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers. This is a security feature, not a tool limitation.

Yes. Add Authorization headers (Bearer tokens, API keys) or use Basic Auth. However, exposing API keys in browser tools is risky, only test with non-production keys or in secure environments.

Different use cases. Browser-based testers are convenient for quick tests without installations. Postman offers more features (collections, environments, automated testing) but requires download. Use browser tools for quick checks, Postman for serious API development.
