Frequently asked questions

Why is Postman Interceptor not capturing requests?

Common causes are that the Postman app is not running or not connected to the extension, the capture filter excludes the domain, or the requests come from a service worker. Check the connection status in both the extension and Postman.

Can I capture requests without Postman?

Yes. Chrome DevTools and ProxyCeptor both capture and export HAR, and ProxyCeptor can modify the captured requests with rules.
