DebugProbe.AspNetCore: A Minimalist Tool for API Debugging

My project is starting to get solid.

I really like how it’s starting to look. Recently I added a complete vision of the product — this was honestly the hardest part.

I’m trying to keep everything minimalistic. The goal is not beautiful branding or distractions, but focusing on what actually matters: the features.

As I mentioned, here are the features:

  • Capture HTTP requests & responses
  • Inspect headers, query, and body
  • JSON pretty formatting
  • Side-by-side response comparison
  • Built-in UI (/debug)
  • Zero configuration

The target is:

  • Debug real requests directly inside your app
  • No proxy setup or traffic interception
  • See exactly what your API sends and receives
  • Compare environments in seconds

Screenshots:

Requests

Requests list showing HTTP calls with status codes

Request details

Request details with headers and JSON body

Compare

Side-by-side JSON comparison highlighting differences

Compare across environments easily by entering:

  • Base URL
  • Trace ID

…and instantly see the differences.


In the next post, I’ll show how simple the setup is — it takes less than 2 minutes.

Do you use any tool to debug HTTP requests?
If yes, which one?
