Unlocking the Power of Reqable: The Ultimate Tool for API Debugging and Testing

In the ever-evolving landscape of mobile development, having the right tools at your disposal is crucial. Reqable, the successor to HttpCanary, has undergone a significant redesign to enhance its user interface and align its features with the desktop version. This article delves into the standout features of Reqable, showcasing how it can revolutionize your API debugging and testing processes.

1. Standalone Mode: Empowering Independent Traffic Inspection

Reqable's Standalone Mode allows users to inspect traffic without the need for a desktop connection. This feature is particularly beneficial for developers on the go. Within the app, you can effortlessly view captured HTTP protocol messages. Reqable offers various viewing options, including:

• JsonViewer: For easy reading of JSON data.
• HexViewer: To analyze raw data in hexadecimal format.
• ImageViewer: For quick previews of image files.

Additionally, users can perform multiple actions on the captured traffic, such as:

• Repeat: Resend requests to test responses.
• Share: Easily share data with team members.
• Save: Store important data directly on your device.

2. Collaborative Mode: Seamless Integration with Desktop

Reqable's Collaborative Mode enhances teamwork by allowing users to forward traffic to the Reqable desktop app effortlessly. By simply scanning a QR code, you can bypass the tedious process of manually configuring Wi-Fi proxies. This feature is particularly useful for capturing traffic from applications that do not utilize Wi-Fi proxies, such as those built with Flutter.

With Collaborative Mode, you can execute actions on the desktop version, significantly improving your workflow and productivity. This integration ensures that your team can work together more efficiently, regardless of their location.

3. Comprehensive Traffic Inspection Features

Reqable employs a classic MITM (Man-in-the-Middle) proxy method for traffic inspection, supporting a wide array of protocols and features:

• Protocol Support: HTTP/1.x, HTTP2, and WebSocket upgrades based on HTTP1.

• Security Protocols: HTTPS, TLSv1.1, TLSv1.2, and TLSv1.3.
• IP Support: Both IPv4 and IPv6.
• SSL Proxying: For secure data transmission.
• Advanced Features: Search and filter options, request composition, HTTP-Archive support, and traffic highlighting.
• Repetition and cURL Support: Easily repeat requests and generate code snippets for cURL.

4. Streamlined REST API Testing

Reqable is not just about traffic inspection; it also excels in REST API Testing. Key features include:

• Protocol Support: HTTP/1.1, HTTP2, and HTTP3 (QUIC) for comprehensive testing.
• API Collections: Organize your APIs for easy access and management.
