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

  1. Open Postman and go to Settings (gear icon).
  2. Navigate to the Proxy tab.
  3. Enable Use custom proxy configuration.
  4. 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
  5. Select the protocols: HTTP and/or HTTPS.
  6. 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.
