Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 7, 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.

Data We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to:

• Your API requests, responses, or any data exchanged with target servers
• Your authentication tokens, API keys, passwords, or credentials
• Your request history or saved presets
• Any personally identifiable information (PII)

How Requests Work

All HTTP requests are sent directly from your browser to the target server using the Fetch API. Your requests never pass through our servers. We have no proxy, no backend processing, and no ability to intercept or log any request data.

Local Storage

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

Cookies

We do not set any cookies. If analytics or advertising services are added in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.

Analytics

We may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand general traffic patterns (page views, browser types). We do not track individual users or collect personal data through analytics.

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.
