What is replay response?

Replay response allows you to record the actual HTTP response, then replay it in subsequent requests without hitting the actual server. You can also edit the recorded response to make it return your desired response.

Use cases

  • Replay a slow or costly backend request to speed up UI development
  • Modify a backend response to return different data
  • Modify the status code to test error handling

  • Enter the URL that you would like to record or replay.
  • (optional) If you would like to use regex for URL matching, click on the button and enter the regex URL expression in the text field.
  • Visit the page that you would like to replay. The requests to the matching URL will be recorded if we have not seen it before, and replayed once it is recorded.
