Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by surveying the TypeScript repository and its current interceptor architecture, then define the VS Code integration scope and acceptance criteria for rule management, proxy or API tooling, account sync, and local or remote environments.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It would be great to have Requestly available as a Visual Studio Code extension.

Motivation:
Many developers spend most of their time inside VS Code, and having Requestly integrated directly into the editor would streamline debugging and API testing workflows. Instead of switching between the browser and the editor, users could manage rules, mocks, and API modifications from within VS Code.

Proposed Features:

  • View, create, and manage Requestly rules inside VS Code
  • Integrate with VS Code’s network proxy or API testing tools
  • Sync with the user’s Requestly account
  • Support for local and remote environments

Benefits:

  • Simplifies development workflows
  • Reduces context switching between tools
  • Makes Requestly more accessible to backend and full-stack developers

Example Use Case:
A developer debugging API responses could mock an endpoint directly from VS Code while coding, without having to switch to the browser extension.
