Does Postman's Chrome Interceptor still work with the standalone version of Postman?

Question

I've previously used the Postman Chrome's Extension along with the Postman Interceptor Extension to capture HTTP requests made from Chrome in Postman.

However, now that Postman has migrated from a Chrome extension to a stand-alone application, I'm having trouble reproducing this functionality in the stand-alone version of Postman (v5.5.0).

Postman's documentation suggests that it is still possible here however the screenshots don't match the latest version of the app.

For instance, in Postman instead of seeing an icon which looks like a satellite, I see an icon which looks like a satellite dish:

Clicking this image results in a PROXY SETTINGS dialog where I am asked to select a Port.

When I choose the default of 5555, turn on the interceptor extension in Chrome and make requests from Chrome, I don't see the requests appearing in Postman.

Answer 1

There is an option to get requests from browser, like if you used to use in postman chrome app. It's very easy to do it.

Expected:

• Firefox browser
• Foxy proxy addon (to FF)
• postman standalone

Now, steps:

1. On windows CMD -> 'ipconfig', and copy your IP addres
2. Run FF and click on Foxy Proxy extension
3. Set title, in "IP addres" paste your ip addres (step 1), set port 5555 and save.
4. In FF on toolbar select your created proxy
5. Open postman
6. Click 'satelite' - capture Api req...
7. set port 5555
8. Target eg. history

Now requests from FF should be displayed in History

Make sure you install Interceptor Bridge for native apps https://community.getpostman.com/t/interceptor-integration-for-postman-native-apps/5290
