About HTTP Toolkit
HTTP Toolkit is an open-source tool for intercepting, debugging, testing, and building with HTTP(S). It offers one-click interception for browsers, mobile apps, Docker containers, and backend processes across Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Beautiful, modern UI that's much easier to use than older alternatives like Fiddler or Charles
- One-click interception works across browsers, mobile apps, Docker, and backend languages
- Fully open-source with a generous free tier covering most common use cases
- Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, and Linux
- Built-in API documentation and validation for thousands of APIs
Key Features
One-Click Traffic Interception
Capture HTTP(S) traffic from browsers, Android/iOS apps, Docker containers, and backend processes with zero configuration
Request & Response Inspection
Examine URLs, status codes, headers, and bodies with built-in content-type parsing and MDN documentation for standard headers
Traffic Rewriting & Breakpoints
Manually rewrite intercepted requests and responses using breakpoints, or set up automated rewriting rules
Built-in HTTP Client
Send custom requests directly to explore and test APIs with full control over headers, body, and parameters
Mock Responses & Error Simulation
Define static responses, map to local files, or simulate errors and timeouts to test client behavior
HAR Import/Export
Import and export traffic as HAR files or generate ready-to-use code snippets for 20+ tools and languages
API Validation & Documentation
Built-in validation and docs for 2,600+ APIs, plus support for custom OpenAPI specifications
