API Explorer v2

The API Explorer has been completely redesigned to provide a more powerful and intuitive experience when testing and validating Chift’s API endpoints.
Key highlights:
  • Global access — Now accessible from the sidebar, without navigating to a specific consumer first. When opened from a consumer’s page, the consumer and connection are automatically pre-filled.
  • Improved request panel — Operations grouped by tags, searchable by name/path/tag, with a direct link to the API documentation for each endpoint. The connection dropdown lets you switch between connectors when multiple connections are available.
  • Response panel — Status code, execution duration, and full JSON body with syntax highlighting. Download, copy, or expand to fullscreen.
  • Transaction replay — Re-run any past transaction via the “Open in Explorer” button. All parameters are pre-filled, including connector-specific query parameters.
  • Multi-tab support — Open multiple request tabs to compare responses or work on different endpoints. Tabs persist across sessions.
  • Request history — Every request is saved in the history sidebar with method, status, consumer, environment, and timestamp. Filter by method, status category, consumer, or search by name.
  • Raw data toggle — Include raw connector response data alongside the unified response (GET endpoints only).
  • Body editor — JSON editor with syntax highlighting. Sample payloads are auto-populated from the API schema.
  • Keyboard shortcut — Execute requests with Cmd+Enter (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows).
  • Resizable drawer — Compact, default (80%), or fullscreen. Preference saved automatically.
