About this tool
There is no server of ours behind Test REST API Endpoint. Test REST API Endpoint lets you set a method, headers and body, then fires the request straight from your browser and displays what comes back.
Because the call is made by your browser, it follows the same CORS rules as any web page, so some cross-origin APIs may refuse to respond. The request is sent from your browser straight to the API you name; this site has no backend and never receives it, though that server and your network can see it. Cross-origin calls follow the browser's CORS rules, and a connection is required.
