Timeline

Timeline tab shows everything that happened during a request run. It includes the main HTTP call, any extra requests made from scripts, and the resolved request details for each step.

​

Timeline Interface

The Timeline tab is organized into three categories:

1. Request
2. Response
3. Network Logs

​

1. Request Tab

The Request tab displays everything that was sent with your API request:

• URL - The complete endpoint URL
• Query Parameters - Query strings and path variables
• Request Body - The data payload sent with the request
• Request Headers - All headers included in the request
• Authentication - Authentication details and credentials
• Variables - Variables used in the request

​

2. Response Tab

The Response tab shows all information received from the server:

• Status Code - HTTP status code of the response
• Response Headers - All headers returned by the server
• Response Body - The complete response data
• Response Size - Size of the response payload
• Execution Time - Time taken to complete the request

​

3. Network Logs Tab

The Network Logs tab provides low-level network insights for advanced debugging:

• Request/Response Flow - Detailed timeline of the network transaction
• Network Timing - Breakdown of connection, DNS, SSL, and transfer times
• Protocol Details - HTTP version and connection information
• Debugging Information - Additional network-level diagnostics

This comprehensive view helps you identify performance bottlenecks, debug connection issues, and understand the complete lifecycle of your API requests.

Script Logs in Timeline

When scripts use bru.sendRequest() or bru.runRequest(), Timeline lists every HTTP call made during the run. Use the filter tabs to narrow the view. The number on each tab is how many requests match that filter. Click a row to expand it and inspect that call’s request body, headers, response, and network timing. Use Clear Timeline to reset the list before the next run.
