Description
A local-first API workbench for standalone and Chrome DevTools use
xPanel provides the same focused API request and response workbench as a
standalone extension page and in Chrome DevTools. Browser mode sends requests
directly from the extension after you approve the target origin. Exact-origin
approval is the default; Request Options also offers an explicit one-time
all-HTTP/HTTPS grant for users who regularly switch API domains. An optional
one-fetch service profile can replay requests that Browser Fetch cannot faithfully
express, but xPanel never selects a relay or sends data remotely without your
explicit choice and confirmation.
Key features:
- Build HTTP requests with parameters, authentication, headers, and common
body types.
- Inspect response content, returned cookies, timing, and whether a result came
from the target, the configured service, or an unverified intermediary.
- Bring requests in from common developer-tool exports and API documents, then
export reusable collections.
- Save collections and favorites locally, format JSON, copy results quickly,
and cancel active requests.
- Continue a request the user started if the standalone page or DevTools panel
closes, then make its temporary local result available when a workbench
reopens. Results expire after ten minutes by default; users may instead
choose one hour, the current Chrome session, or retention until manual
cleanup. Manual retention requires an additional sensitive-data warning.
- Use a 60-second default timeout with visible request phases and real download
progress when the response size is known.
- Optionally configure a service that you deploy and trust. Remote mode needs
permission for its Control/Gateway origins, not for each destination. xPanel
provides no public proxy and operates no backend.
