Documentation

Typical usage scenario

The EndpointTester Module is designed for developers and admins who need to quickly test REST endpoints directly from their Mendix application. It eliminates the need to redeploy apps or reset constants when adjusting headers, endpoints, or payloads. This makes it especially useful in:

  • Highly monitored or firewalled environments where external tools (like Postman) are restricted.

  • Debugging and validating APIs during development or integration.

  • Functional admin testing, where non-developers can verify endpoints without Studio Pro.
