Uh hey guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you a very
0:03
useful Google Chrome extension for
0:05
developers and programmers. If you want
0:07
to make a HTTP request, you basically
0:09
use tools like Postman, which is a
0:12
graphical user tool. But uh you can
0:14
install this Google Chrome extension,
0:16
which will allow the interface to make
0:18
simple HTTP requests directly from your
0:20
Google Chrome browser. So it's got
0:22
almost 50,000 installs. This is the name
0:25
of the extension. Simply go to the
0:27
extensions tab. Simply search for this.
0:30
It's a browser extension to make HTTP
0:32
request to a rest API. So click on add

this icon appearing of this extension.
0:49
So as soon as you click the icon, this
0:52
window will open right here and you will
0:54
make the HTTP request. So let me just
0:57
have a
0:59
JSON placeholder API which is a rest API
1:02
for fake uh developers.
1:05
JSON placeholder.
1:08
So free fake rest API. So let me just uh
1:12
copy this link here. So this returns a
1:15
response here. So I simply paste it to
1:18
simply check either make get post put
1:22
patch delete all these things are there.
1:24
You simply send this request and then it
1:27
shows you the status which is 200 time
1:31
uh the size type every everything and
1:33
this is your response and uh header
1:37
information as well. So you get all this
1:39
information. So it's a very useful uh
1:41
extension guys. You can preview in XML
1:44
html preview and the plain text. So it's
1:47
a great alternative to tools like
1:49
Postman. If you don't like it, you can
1:51
install this extension. And you can even
1:53
make a post request as well. And uh

Simply paste,
2:14
make a get request. And now you will see
