History & cookies
History
Every request you send can be recorded in History (sidebar). Typical behavior:
- Last 100 entries kept
- Method, URL, status, and timestamp shown for quick scanning
- Click an entry to load it back into the request builder
History persists across editor restarts so you can return to a debugging session later.
TIP
History is great for ad-hoc calls. For work you want to keep forever, save to a collection or use Pro sync.
Cookies
When responses include Set-Cookie, Gud API can store cookies and send them on later requests to matching domains — similar to a browser, but scoped to the extension.
Cookie manager
Use the cookie manager to:
- See cookies by domain
- Enable or disable individual cookies
- Delete cookies you no longer need
This helps when APIs set session cookies or when you need to clear state before retrying.
Privacy
Cookies and history are local to your machine unless you use Pro sync for other data — see Sync & teams for what sync includes.
