PolyApiIDE features

Everything the extension can do, grouped by plan: what works without a key, what a subscription unlocks, and how Lifetime differs from Month / Year.

Collections stay local in Chrome by default. The server is used for keys, client registration (email + OTP), cloud backup, AI history and support — only when you opt in.

By plan

Free — no key

Start right after installing from the Chrome Web Store. Up to 2 active IDE sessions.

  • Workspaces: REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, SOAP, gRPC (JSON transcoding) — type at space or request level
  • Collections and folders: CRUD, clone, move, multi-select
  • Send HTTP requests: Params, Headers, Body (raw / urlencoded / form-data / file up to 5 MB)
  • GET / HEAD without a body; decoded URL after variable substitution
  • Environments and variables: request → collection → space → environment; empty values do not wipe lower layers
  • Dynamic variables: {{$guid}}, {{$timestamp}}, {{$randomInt}}, etc.
  • Auth: inherit, Bearer, Basic, API key, OAuth2, JWT, Digest, AWS; {{token}} placeholder
  • Pre-request and after-response scripts (sandbox, IDE console)
