Note: The image above is AI-generated to illustrate the idea.

Debugging APIs across environments is messy.

  • Logs are scattered
  • Responses differ between dev/staging
  • Errors like 401 appear with no clear reason

What I wanted
A simple way to:

  • See all requests in one place
  • Open a request and inspect it
  • Quickly understand failures

Also useful
Comparing the same request between environments.
You immediately see what’s different.

Built this as a small ASP.NET Core tool for myself.

Curious how others handle this problem.
