Fetch Log - API Inspector

**TL;DR:** Fetch Log is the Chrome extension DevTools should have shipped. It strips away the noise, capturing only real API (fetch/XHR) traffic in a persistent, developer-focused popup—no static assets, no bloat, no learning curve. --- **What’s actually happening?** - Real-time monitoring of HTTP API requests using the Debugger API - Live, filterable feed: case-insensitive, persistent filters - Drilldown: Pretty-printed JSON, syntax highlighting, one-click copy for headers, bodies, or responses - Auto-refreshes pending requests; dark mode for late-night debugging - All data is local, ephemeral, and under your control—no tracking, no analytics **Why bother?** - DevTools’ Network tab is a haystack; Fetch Log is the needle - Lightweight, popup UI (400x600) with zero setup—install and go - Remembers your filters, highlights endpoints, and gets out of your way - Built for frontend devs, API integrators, and anyone tired of sifting through web cruft **Limitations (aka: honesty is a feature):** - No chrome:// or extension page debugging - One tab at a time; debugger detaches on tab switch - HTTP(S) only—no WebSocket voodoo - Popup closes on navigation (Chrome’s rules, not ours) **Perfect for:** REST/GraphQL wranglers, API explorers, anyone who wants a sharper, simpler network inspector. **Install it. Use it. Stop fighting DevTools.**
