Import .har File

.har (HTTP Archive) is a JSON-formatted file used for logging a web browser's interaction with a site. It records web requests, responses, headers, and other data sent between the browser and server.
Apidog supports capturing these records to quickly generate API endpoints.

Phase 1: Export .har File

You can use standard browser tools (Chrome, Edge, Firefox) to export traffic as a HAR file.

Chrome / Edge

Open Developer Tools: F12 or Ctrl+Shift+I (Windows/Linux) / Cmd+Opt+I (Mac).

Navigate to the Network tab.

Refresh the page or perform actions to capture traffic.

Right-click any request row (or the empty space) and select Save all as HAR with content.

Configure Import Options

Adjust the settings to match your needs:

BaseURL Handling:

Hardcode: Include the BaseURL in the specific endpoint path.

Remove: Intelligent parsing removes the BaseURL so you can manage it globally via Environments (Recommended).

Static Resource: Toggle Exclude to ignore captured images, CSS, and JS files.

Endpoint Case Generation: Turn ON to automatically generate a default test case for each imported endpoint.
