Hello:
I want to do a simple test using Advanced Rest Client with Chromium, I can install it, but it seems it is not easy to figure out how to use it in Developer Tools.
When I browse some web site, if I press F12, I can see the Developer Tools, but I can't find Advanced Rest Client.
If I visit chrome://apps/, I can see ARC, but if I click on ARC, the Advanced Rest Client appears as standalone web page, I have to input the URLs by hand, I want to know how I can let Advanced Rest Client to send GET/POST request when I click on the buttons on the web page.
By the way, I don't like to use Chrome, as it is either heavy and quite often, with too many ads on it, most of the times, the URL request simply don't work; so I have to stay with Chromium.
My OS is Windows 10; Chromium Version:  71.0.3548.0
Thanks

1) Chrome apps also works on Chromium.
2) ARC is an API testing tool. To test an API you have to provide an URL (API endpoint URI) and other parameters if required.

The app does not work in DevTools. In the app you have UI to make a request and read the response.

I can let Advanced Rest Client to send GET/POST request when I click on the buttons on the web page.
I am not sure what do you mean. Can you please explain?

Thanks.
Pawel
