🌐 Mock Server​

Spin up a lightweight local HTTP server, right from the extension, that returns pre-defined responses for any route. Useful for prototyping against an API that doesn't exist yet, developing against a flaky or rate-limited backend, or reproducing a specific edge case (an error, a slow response, a conditional payload) on demand - without touching a real server.

🌍 Environment Selector​

The Environment dropdown in the sidebar controls the variable set used by requests that are not linked to a collection or folder variable.

  • Applies only to standalone requests or requests without an assigned variable.
  • Collection or folder variables always take precedence.
  • Switch environments instantly without modifying individual requests.

Note: Changing the selected environment does not affect requests that already have a collection or folder variable assigned.

💡 Tips​

  • Keep related APIs in one collection.
  • Use collection variables for environment-specific values.
  • Move useful history requests into collections.
  • Use folders to organize large APIs.
