Making HTTP Requests using Chrome Developer tools

Question

Is there a way to make an HTTP request using the Chrome Developer tools without using a plugin like POSTER?

Answer 1

Since the Fetch API is supported by Chrome (and most other browsers), it is now quite easy to make HTTP requests from the devtools console.

To GET a JSON file for instance:

fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/1')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(console.log)
