Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Overview

APIRequest is a browser-based API testing tool. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect (very little) and how it is handled.

How Requests Work

APIRequest does not act as a proxy. All HTTP requests are sent directly from your browser to the target server using the Fetch API. The request bodies, response bodies, authentication tokens, API keys, and saved presets you enter into the playground are not transmitted to APIRequest’s servers as part of using the playground.

Local Storage

APIRequest uses your browser's localStorage to save request history. This data is stored on your device and is never transmitted to us. You can clear it at any time through the History panel or by clearing your browser's site data.

Security Considerations

Because requests are made from your browser, be aware that:

• Authentication tokens and API keys you enter are processed locally in your browser
• Data stored in localStorage is accessible to any JavaScript running on the same origin
• We recommend not saving sensitive credentials in request history on shared or public computers

Third-Party Services

When you send requests to external APIs, those services have their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for how third-party APIs handle your data.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
