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 Bearer token (just the token, not “Bearer …”)
- Label: Optional friendly name (e.g., “Staging API”)
Click “Save” and you’re done!
4. Verify It’s Working
- Navigate to a page that makes API calls matching your pattern
- Check the “Context Bar” at the top - it shows matched rules
- See request counts increase as API calls are intercepted
- 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!
