Charles Proxy offers developers and testers an immediate look at network traffic. But there’s a lot to learn beyond the basics.

If you’ve ever wanted to change response data without asking the back-end server to test the client, report a server-side bug or reproduce a state on the client that needs a specific back-end response, advanced Charles Proxy features offer solutions.

In this tutorial

You’ll manipulate the response from the Star Wars API (SWAPI) to your own custom API in the StarCharles app. Along the way, you’ll:

• Set up Charles.
• Use the mapping tool and breakpoints.
• Perform repetitive actions with the rewrite and repeat tools.
• Save network activity to disk.
• Share reports with others.
