Export & Replay

APXY lets you export captured traffic as executable commands, replay past requests, compose new ones from scratch, and compare traffic records side by side.

Web UI

In the Capture group, open a traffic detail panel and use Export or Replay on a recorded request.
Use Compose to build and send a request from scratch.
Use Diff to compare two records side by side.

CLI

Export as cURL

Convert a captured traffic record into a ready-to-run snippet:


# Export as cURL (default)
apxy logs export-curl --id abc123
 
# Export as fetch (JavaScript)
apxy logs export-curl --id abc123 --format fetch
 
# Export as httpie
apxy logs export-curl --id abc123 --format httpie
 
# Export as Python (requests)
apxy logs export-curl --id abc123 --format python

Supported formats: curl, fetch, httpie, python

Replay requests

Re-send a previously captured request to the original server:


apxy logs replay --id abc123

Compose custom requests

Send a completely custom HTTP request:


apxy tools request compose \
  --method POST \
  --url "https://api.example.com/users" \
  --headers '{"Authorization": "Bearer token", "Content-Type": "application/json"}' \
  --body '{"name": "test"}'

Flag	Default	Description
`--method`	GET	HTTP method
`--url`	—	Full URL (required)
`--headers`	""	JSON object of headers
`--body`	""	Request body

Diff two records

Compare two captured traffic records:


apxy logs diff --id-a abc123 --id-b def456 --scope response

Flag	Default	Description
`--id-a`	—	First record ID (required)
`--id-b`	—	Second record ID (required)
`--scope`	both	`request`, `response`, or `both`

Use Cases

Testing a fix (replay + diff)


# Export the failing request
apxy logs export-curl --id <FAIL_ID>
 
# Deploy the fix, then replay
apxy logs replay --id <FAIL_ID>
 
# Compare old vs new response
apxy logs diff --id-a <FAIL_ID> --id-b <NEW_ID> --scope response

Export a request as a cURL command to share with a colleague or paste into a CI pipeline:


apxy logs export-curl --id abc123
# Output: curl -X POST 'https://api.example.com/users' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"name":"test"}'

HAR Import & Export

APXY also supports HAR 1.2 for exchanging traffic with other tools:


# Export all traffic as HAR
apxy logs export-har
 
# Import a HAR file (from browser DevTools, Charles, etc.)
apxy logs import-har --file ./recording.har
