May 1st Release

Enhanced API Explorer with Pre-Request Scripts:

• We are thrilled to introduce the Pre-Request Script feature for our API Explorer. This allows users to execute custom code before each HTTP request, enhancing flexibility and efficiency. Users can utilize this feature for tasks like authentication, request header manipulation, or setting up a consistent environment. By incorporating pre-request scripts, you can streamline your request handling process and ensure consistent behavior across endpoints.

How to Use Pre-Request Script Feature:

1. Global Environment Variables:
   • Users can now set global environment variables (key/value pairs) in project settings without additional security for defined variables. These variables can be accessed and utilized within pre-request scripts.
2. Custom Scripts:
   • Users have the ability to set their own scripts in project settings and execute them in the API explorer. These scripts are unique to each project and can be used to manipulate environment variables, headers, and access request bodies.
3. Script Execution and Limitations:
   • Scripts run before regular requests, allowing users to modify parameters as needed. However, there are limitations in place to ensure platform security, such as the inability to import external scripts or access the DOM directly.

Accessibility Enhancement - Keyboard Navigation:

We are committed to improving accessibility for all users. In this release, we've implemented keyboard accessibility enhancements, enabling seamless navigation and interaction using the tab and enter keys. These improvements cater to individuals who rely on keyboard navigation, enhancing their overall user experience.

Anonymous Feedback Email Notifications:
