GraphQeLves

A GraphQL network inspector for Chrome DevTools with real-time monitoring, syntax highlighting, and batch export.

Stop digging through generic network tabs to find your GraphQL requests. GraphQeLves adds a purpose-built panel to Chrome DevTools that captures, filters, and inspects GraphQL traffic in real-time. Built by developers, for developers who work with GraphQL APIs daily. ━━━━━ Why GraphQeLves? The standard Network tab shows you everything — which means finding your GraphQL operations requires constant filtering and clicking. GraphQeLves automatically identifies GraphQL requests and presents them in a clean, organized interface designed specifically for GraphQL debugging. Whether you're debugging a single query, tracking down a mutation that's sending the wrong variables, or exporting multiple requests to share with your team, GraphQeLves streamlines your workflow. ━━━━━ Features ▸ Real-time monitoring Automatically captures GraphQL queries, mutations, subscriptions, and persisted queries as they happen. Color-coded badges make it easy to identify operation types at a glance. ▸ Request inspection View the complete GraphQL query with syntax highlighting and vibrant color coding, plus formatted variables. Copy individual elements or the entire request with one click. ▸ Response analysis Browse formatted JSON responses with theme-aware syntax highlighting. Access the raw response body when needed. Quickly spot errors, inspect returned data, and copy results for debugging. ▸ Header inspection View request and response headers side-by-side. Sensitive headers (authorization, cookies, API keys) are automatically redacted in exports for safe sharing. ▸ Network metrics See HTTP status codes, response sizes (formatted as bytes, KB, or MB), and request duration in milliseconds — all visible in the request list. ▸ Smart filtering Filter by operation type (Query, Mutation, Subscription, Persisted) or search by operation name and URL. Find what you need instantly, even with hundreds of requests. ▸ Multi-select export Select multiple requests using Shift+Click (range) or Cmd/Ctrl+Click (individual), then export as a JSON bundle complete with generated cURL commands. ▸ cURL command generation Generate ready-to-use cURL commands for any request. Perfect for reproducing issues, testing in terminals, or sharing with teammates. ▸ Batched request support Handles GraphQL batching automatically — when multiple operations are sent in a single HTTP request, each operation appears as a separate entry for easy inspection. ▸ Persisted query detection Identifies Apollo-style persisted queries and displays them with a distinct badge, making it easy to track hash-based query execution. ▸ Light & dark themes Dark mode optimized for DevTools, with a light theme option. Toggle between them to match your preference — saved automatically. ▸ Virtual scrolling Handles thousands of requests smoothly. The list stays responsive no matter how many operations you've captured. ━━━━━ How to use: 1. Open Chrome DevTools (F12 or Cmd+Option+I) 2. Find the "GraphQeLves" panel tab 3. Browse any page that makes GraphQL requests 4. Click any request to inspect details 5. Use filters and search to find specific operations 6.
