The short version: API Inspector Pro does not collect, transmit, store, or share any of your data. Everything stays entirely in your browser. No servers. No analytics. No accounts. No tracking.
API Inspector Pro is a Chrome DevTools extension developed by Monty Bagati (bagati.monty@gmail.com). It is a developer tool for inspecting network requests in real time.
API Inspector Pro observes network requests made by the page you are actively inspecting in Chrome DevTools. This includes:
This data is captured exclusively from Chrome's built-in DevTools network API (chrome.devtools.network) and is only accessible while the DevTools panel is open.
All captured network data is used solely to display it to you in the extension's DevTools panel. It is:
chrome.storage.local) for session restore, with sensitive headers and request/response bodies explicitly excludedWe do not and will never use this data for any other purpose.
For session persistence (restoring your work after a page reload), the extension stores a limited subset of request metadata in chrome.storage.local — a storage area that exists entirely on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.
The following are explicitly excluded from local storage for security:
x-auth-token, x-api-key, x-csrf-token, x-access-token, www-authenticateStored session data automatically expires after 30 minutes and is capped at 500 requests.
No data is ever transmitted to any external server. The extension has no backend, no API endpoint, no analytics service, and no telemetry. There is no network communication from the extension itself — only the network communication of the page you are debugging, which you are observing.
| Permission | Why It Is Required |
|---|---|
storage | To persist your captured requests and interaction map locally for session restore after page reload. Data never leaves your device. |
activeTab | To inject the click-capture overlay into the tab you are currently inspecting, enabling Click-to-Capture functionality. |
tabs | To identify which tab the DevTools panel is attached to, so click events are routed to the correct panel instance when multiple tabs are open. |
No other permissions are requested. The extension does not request history, bookmarks, webRequest, cookies, identity, or any host permissions.
API Inspector Pro uses no third-party services, SDKs, analytics libraries, or advertising networks. It loads no external scripts at runtime.
The extension panel loads fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com) for display purposes only. No user data is transmitted in this request beyond standard HTTP headers.
This extension is a developer tool intended for use by software developers and is not directed at children under 13.
If this policy changes materially, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
