How to copy fiddler GET REST API calls to notepad/textpad?

[Roger Payne]

Hello All, 

I do a lot of GET REST calls and the results after the 200 ok are in XML or JSON however, i cant seem to figure out how to copy all that data and paste it to textpad as example. Can this be done?

Hi, Roger. There are tons of ways to get data out of Fiddler and into other programs like notepad. Can you explain (or screenshot) exactly the data that you're hoping to move out of Fiddler and into another program?

I found what i was looking for

1. Run any GET call in Fiddler2

2. Right click on the Fiddler 200 OK message back (XML or JSON)

3. Select Save -> Response -> Response Body as something.xml

4. Open the results in Notepad++ with the TextFX Plugin

5. Select TextFX -> TextFX HTML Tidy -> Tidy: Reindent XML

I have all my XML or JSON data in the proper format.

Thanks All for the help.

For what it's worth, if you install the SyntaxView extension for Fiddler, you can right-click inside any XML response and choose "Format XML". Or you can use the XML Response Inspector to see the XML data in tree form.

You can also just use the "View in Notepad" button on the TextView tab; use the Tools > Fiddler Options > Tools > Text Editor field to point to Notepad++ if you need to.
