WebFetch Explorer Guide

Streamline your API testing workflow by evaluating endpoints and analyzing server responses in real-time.


Understanding the Results

Regardless of the HTTP method used, WebFetch Explorer processes the server's response dynamically based on its headers:

  • Visual Feedback: A successful response is displayed within a green background card. Otherwise, a red background indicates a failed request.
  • Status Badges: Every result includes two badges showing the HTTP status code (e.g., 200 OK, 404 Not Found) and the exact request latency in milliseconds.
  • JSON Handling: If an application/json header is detected, the payload is formatted for readability. A dedicated button will appear allowing you to download the raw JSON file.
  • Image Rendering: If an image header is detected, the resource is automatically decoded and rendered in the UI. You can right-click to save it.

Read-Only Mode (Default)

By default, the application is locked into Read-Only mode, exclusively executing GET requests.

This ensures safe data retrieval without the risk of accidentally modifying server states. Simply paste your endpoint and click the Fetch button.

Advanced Methods

Toggling off the Read-Only switch unlocks the HTTP combobox, granting access to POST, PUT, and DELETE methods.

When selecting a method that requires data transmission, a dedicated text area will appear, allowing you to attach a JSON payload to your request body.

Stress Test Mode

The Stress Mode evaluates server stability and average response delays under continuous load by executing 50 consecutive ping requests.

  • Visual Analytics: Generates a real-time line chart mapping the latency of each iteration.
  • Exportable Reports: Once a valid response is set, you can instantly download a detailed PDF report of the performance metrics.
