Are you looking for a quick and easy way to replicate an endpoint call from any website? Look no further! In this tutorial, I'll show you how to use Chrome DevTools and Postman to effortlessly extract any network request you want for your projects.
With just a few simple steps, you'll be able to get the network requests you need and use them in your projects with ease. Whether you're working with APIs or debugging network issues, this tutorial will have you covered. So let's get started with this step-by-step guide:
First, let's open up Chrome DevTools by right-clicking on the page and selecting "Inspect" or by using the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows / Linux or Command+Option+I on Mac.
Once DevTools is open, select the "Network" tab and refresh the page F5. This tab allows you to see all the network requests that are being made by the page you are currently on. You can filter the requests by type (e.g. XHR, CSS, JS, etc.) and search for specific requests by typing in the search bar.
Now, let's say you want to get a specific network request for one of your projects. To do this, you simply need to right-click on the request in the DevTools network tab and select "Copy" and then "Copy as cURL."
Next, open up Postman. If you don't have Postman, it's a free tool you can download from the Postman website. Once you have it open, in the top left corner click on "Import". In the Import window that appears, select the "Raw Text" option and paste in the network request you copied from DevTools and click "Continue" then "Import".
That's it! You've now imported the network request into Postman. You'll see the request with all its headers, payload, cookies, etc. If you want to copy the request as something other than cURL, you can use the "Copy" menu to select a different option, such as "Copy as node.js fetch."
I hope this tutorial has been helpful.
