Getting Started

Get up and running with Auth HI! in minutes.

Installation

From Chrome Web Store

🚀 Coming Soon - Extension is currently in review

Once published, click “Add to Chrome” from the Chrome Web Store listing.

From Source

If you want to build from source or contribute:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/prosdevlab/auth-header-injector.git
cd auth-header-injector
 
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
 
# Build the extension
pnpm build
 
# Load in Chrome
# 1. Open chrome://extensions/
# 2. Enable "Developer mode"
# 3. Click "Load unpacked"
# 4. Select the `dist` folder

First Steps

1. Open the Side Panel

Click the extension icon in your Chrome toolbar. The side panel will open on the right side of your browser.

2. Enable the Extension

Toggle the “Enable extension” switch at the top of the panel.

3. Add Your First Rule

Click “Add Rule” and fill in:

  • Pattern: URL pattern to match (e.g., *.api.example.com)
  • Token: Your authentication token
  • Scheme: Choose Bearer (default), Raw, or Basic
  • Label: Optional friendly name (e.g., “Staging API”)

Click “Save” and you’re done!

Auth Schemes:

  • Bearer: Adds Authorization: Bearer {token} header (most common)
  • Raw: Adds Authorization: {token} header (for APIs expecting raw tokens)
  • Basic: Adds Authorization: Basic {token} header (token should be base64-encoded)

4. Verify It’s Working

  1. Navigate to a page that makes API calls matching your pattern
  2. Check the “Context Bar” at the top - it shows matched rules and request counts
  3. See request counts increase as API calls are intercepted
  4. Click the request count to expand and see domain-level breakdown
  5. Open DevTools → Network tab → Check request headers

Example: GitHub API

Let’s set up auth for GitHub’s API:

Pattern: *github.com
Token: ghp_yourPersonalAccessToken
Label: GitHub API

Now any requests to github.com or api.github.com will include your auth token automatically!
