Request maps

Request maps return a mocked response for a matching request, without calling the server.

When to use request maps

• Build offline demos or reproduce bugs reliably.
• Replace unstable endpoints with known data.
• Test edge cases by returning custom responses.

Create a request map

1. Open Settings → Request Maps.
2. Tap Add Map.
3. Choose a Match pattern (exact, contains, wildcard, or regex).
4. Configure the Mock Response (status, headers, body).
5. Save and enable the map.

Mock response options

• Inline body: paste JSON, text, or binary data.
• File body: load from a file in Trace storage.
• Template body: render with request context.
• Scripted body: generate dynamically when scripting is enabled.

Tips

• Use exact match for narrow targeting.
• Start with a real request and build a map from it to preserve headers.
• Keep mock files small for faster iteration.
