Postman-inspired REST API explorer, tester, debugger, profiler & logger — fully inside WordPress admin.

== Description ==

Advanced REST API DevTools brings the power of Postman directly into your WordPress admin dashboard. Explore routes, build and test API requests, profile performance, log traffic, manage collections and environments — all without leaving the admin area.

**Features:**

* **Route Explorer** — Browse all registered REST API routes with search, filter, and source detection
* **Request Builder** — Full-featured request builder with method, headers, body, auth options
* **Pre-request Scripts** — Dynamic variable/header manipulation before sending
* **Test Assertions** — Post-response assertions (status, JSON path, contains, equals)
* **Collections** — Save, organize, and run request collections with pass/fail results
* **Environments** — Manage variable sets with {{var}} syntax replacement
* **Request History** — Browse and reload recent requests
* **Performance Profiler** — Timing breakdown (routing, permissions, callback, DB queries)
* **Authentication Debugger** — View current user auth context, caps, and method validation
* **Request Logger** — Opt-in REST API traffic logging with filters and auto-purge
* **Mock Responses** — Stub mock responses for offline/testing workflows
* **Code Generation** — Export requests as cURL, PHP (wp_remote_*), or JavaScript (fetch)

= Can I test external APIs? =
The plugin is designed for your site's REST API (loopback requests). External API testing is not currently supported.
