About this tool
There is no server of ours behind Test REST API Call. Test REST API Call lets you set a method, headers and body, then fires the request straight from your browser and displays what comes back.
It is a thin client around the browser fetch API — no proxy and no stored credentials, just the request you configure. The request is sent from your browser straight to the API you name; this site has no backend and never receives it, though that server and your network can see it. Cross-origin calls follow the browser's CORS rules, and a connection is required.
