Access Token Grabber

Get your web request access tokens instantly without digging through DevTools. This lightweight, background Chrome extension detects tokens as you browse and lets you copy them with a single click, perfect for Postman, cURL, or any API client.

Open‑source. Transparent. Your token never leaves your computer.

👉 Why it’s better
Stop hunting for auth requests in Network tab and manually copying headers. Access Token Grabber automatically surfaces detected tokens and marks them with a small “1” badge when one is ready. Click once to copy - no extra steps, no context switching, no guesswork.

🔑 Key benefits
- One‑click copy: Grab the token directly from the extension with a single click.
- Works while you work: Runs silently in the background and detects tokens when requests fire.
- Dev‑friendly: Ideal for testing backend endpoints, reproducing issues, and iterating with Postman or other API tools.
- Open‑source and transparent: Review the code, contribute, and trust what runs in your browser.
- Privacy: No tokens leave your machine.

❓ How to use
1. Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. It'll automatically run in the background.
2. Browse to your app or the page that triggers authenticated requests.
3. When a token is detected, you’ll see a "1" indicator on the extension icon.
4. Click the extension icon once to copy the token to your clipboard.
5. Paste into Postman, cURL, or your API client’s Authorization header and start testing.

⚙️ What it detects
Access Token Grabber looks for access tokens in outgoing requests and defined auth headers used by modern web apps. It’s designed to simplify typical developer workflows without changing how your app authenticates.

🔒 Privacy & security
- Tokens stay locally in your browser.
- Fully open‑source so you can audit the code yourself.
