Streamlined API Monitoring with Fetch Log
Fetch Log is a Chrome extension designed to enhance the monitoring and inspection of fetch/XHR network requests. It offers a clean, developer-focused interface that simplifies the process of tracking API traffic by filtering out unnecessary static assets and bloat. Users can benefit from real-time monitoring of HTTP API requests, with a live, filterable feed that allows for case-insensitive searches and persistent filters. Additionally, the tool features pretty-printed JSON, syntax highlighting, and easy copying of headers, bodies, or responses, making it a practical choice for developers.
This extension is particularly useful for frontend developers and API integrators who require a more efficient way to analyze network traffic. Fetch Log's lightweight popup UI requires no setup and remembers user filters while highlighting endpoints for quick access. While it has some limitations, such as not supporting WebSocket debugging and only allowing one tab at a time, it excels in providing a focused and user-friendly experience for those looking to improve their API inspection workflow.
