The Request Builder
Solo’s Request Builder allows you to construct complex HTTP requests, manage dynamic variables, and inspect responses.
Executing a Request
Section titled “Executing a Request”Clicking the “Send” button triggers a series of automated procedures.
1. Dynamic Variable Resolution
Section titled “1. Dynamic Variable Resolution”The {{variable}} placeholders in the URL, Headers, and Body are recognized and instantly replaced with corresponding values from the selected environment or test sessions.
2. Post-Request Inspection
Section titled “2. Post-Request Inspection”At the end of each call, a complete overview is provided:
- Status Badge: Immediate identification of the outcome (e.g., 200 OK in green, 404 Not Found in red).
- Time and Size: Millisecond-by-millisecond measurement of API latency.
Editor Structure
Section titled “Editor Structure”The configuration is divided into logical tabs.
Select the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.) and URL. Environment variable autocompletion is available.
Manage parameters and headers using a grid, with the ability to enable or disable individual rows for testing different combinations.
Enter the request payload with syntax highlighting. Use the “Beautify” function for automatic code formatting.
