Postman
Postman is the most popular platform for API development and testing. You can configure a proxy to route all API requests through HypeProxy.io, which is useful for testing geo-restricted APIs or simulating mobile traffic.
Setting Up HypeProxy.io with Postman
- Open Postman and go to Settings (gear icon).
- Navigate to the Proxy tab.
- Enable Use custom proxy configuration.
- Enter your HypeProxy.io proxy details:
- Proxy Server:
fr.hypeproxy.host - Port: Your assigned port number
- Check Proxy Auth and enter:
- Username: Your proxy username
- Password: Your proxy password
- Proxy Server:
- Select the protocols: HTTP and/or HTTPS.
- Click Save.
Tips
- Use Postman with HypeProxy.io proxies to test how your API responds to requests from different locations.
- Mobile proxies simulate real mobile network traffic — useful for testing mobile API endpoints.
- Disable the proxy when testing local/internal APIs to avoid routing issues.
