Finally, the API Visibility We Needed
This plugin has been an absolute lifesaver for debugging our API integrations. The real time monitoring makes it so easy to track what's happening with our REST requests and webhooks. Setup was a breeze and the interface is clean and intuitive. Finally, a tool that gives us the visibility we needed into our WordPress API activity. Highly recommend it to any developer working with APIs.
