How to Use Requestly Extension in BrowserStack Live

BrowserStack Live allows you to test websites on real browsers and operating systems. With Requestly, you can modify network requests, mock APIs, redirect URLs, inject scripts, and debug your application directly inside your live sessions.

You can use Requestly in BrowserStack Live in two ways:

1. Preload the Requestly extension (recommended)
2. Manually install the extension inside the browser session

Preloading the Requestly Extension (Recommended)

BrowserStack allows certain extensions to be preloaded so they are automatically available in every new session. This is the fastest and most reliable way to use Requestly in Live.

Steps to Preload Requestly

1. Log in to BrowserStack Live

   Log in to your BrowserStack Live dashboard.

2. Open Extensions

   Click the Extensions button next to the bookmark icon in the URL bar.

   
3. Enable Requestly

   The Extensions window opens with the Requestly extension already added by default. Enable the extension using the toggle switch.

   
4. Start Live Session

   Start a Live session by selecting a supported OS and browser combination. Requestly loads automatically inside the browser.

   

Supported OS & Browsers for Preloading

Preloading is supported only in desktop sessions.
