Requestly Oct’22 Updates

Hey Requestlian 👋,

This is Sachin - Founder & CEO, Requestly. In this newsletter, I bring the latest Requestly developments in the month of Oct'22. If you are from a SaaS Company and your Javascript tag is installed on external websites, you might want to test your changes directly on the live customer website but if your customers have content-security-policy enabled then browser won't load your tag. But here's a good news you can use Requestly to bypass content-security-policy.

Here's a quick tutorial to understand content-security-policy and how you can bypass it using Requestly Modify Headers Rule 🔥

Loading local JS files in live/production sites (Map Local) ⚡️

We recently published an article(& a youtube video) that helps you learn how you can load your local javascript files in live/production sites.

This technique is very helpful for web developers to:

  • Test local changes directly in production env and saves deployment time
  • Debug issues directly on production env (No need to setup the entire thing & reproduce issues)

Have a quick look at the video and Unlock your productivity:

Free & Open-Source debugger for Android debug builds 🚀

We completed development & testing for our Android debugger. Requestly Android debugger provides Chrome-like developer tool for Android debug builds.

  • Network Inspector (All APIs, requests, responses, etc)
  • Analytics Events Inspector (Debug analytics events directly on Android device)
  • Host Switcher (Connect your Android app to dev/staging/prod environment)
  • Logs Viewer (View all the logs)

Get complete visibility of what's happening in the app and improve the quality of the software you ship. Again, It is completely free & open-source.

Customer of the Month 🤝🏻

15Gifts integrates recommendation technology into third party sites through their JS tag that helps customers find their ideal product quickly.

  • 15gifts frontend & QA team migrated from Charles Proxy to Requestly after finding out how easy it is to test JS tags on external websites using Requestly.
  • 15gifts uses Requestly Insert Script feature to easily run their code on a client's website to test an early cart integration which helps them in exploring and solving any potential issues upfront thereby saving cost of communication/reporting by the customer.
  • 15gifts uses SharedList feature to share the rules that work and saves the hassle of other people having to set up their own rules or debug someone else’s configuration.
