About Rest Client

Ever wondered why your backend api works when you use your api client such as Postman but when your frontend developer tests it, it does not behave the way you want it to? This is because tools such as Postman are not real browsers and because of this, there will be differences in some scenarios.

This is where this online REST client differs from tools such as Postman because it is running in the browser. Any request that you create and test will simulate a real request from a browser. One reason where this matters a lot is cookies being set by the backend. You may have experienced this before where your backend sets or deletes the cookie in the response and it works in Postman yet you don't get to see the cookie being created or deleted when tested from the browser with your frontend app. Easy to test your CORS settings as well as the request comes from the browser.

Since the app runs in the browser, you get to access other browser APIs from your favorite browser's devtools. Have you encountered a problem as well where you test your api but the request body needed is something that is dynamic which may be derived based off another request from another api. This online REST client app allows you to use javascript to create the body needed for the request.
