Filters

Filter rules control which traffic shows up (or gets recorded into a session) — useful when you’re debugging one specific API and don’t want to wade through everything else your Mac happens to send.

Rule types

Type	Matches on
Domain	Exact host, e.g. api.tonyapps.org
Domain wildcard	Pattern match, e.g. *.tonyapps.org
Path prefix	URL path starts with a string
Path contains	URL path contains a string
Method	HTTP method (GET, POST, …)
Content type	Response Content-Type
Source IP	Exact client IP (useful on a shared network)
Source IP prefix	Client IP range
Status range	Response status code range (e.g. 400–499)
Decode scope / exclude	Controls which traffic gets HTTPS-decoded at all

Using filters

• Apply a filter to the live transaction list to hide non-matching rows without deleting anything.
• Attach filter rules to a session at creation time (see Session Manager) so only matching traffic gets recorded into that session in the first place — the rest is never even stored.
• Clear Filtered Traffic (⌘K) removes only what’s currently visible under the active filter; Clear All Traffic (⇧⌘K) wipes everything regardless of filter.
