Introduction

Devdraft makes it easy for developers to build and test confidently with built-in API security and a powerful Live API Client. No need to spin up staging environments — you can test requests, validate responses, and debug in real-time from within the console.


The Live API Client

Found in the Developer tab, the Live API Client lets you:

  • Test any API endpoint instantly

  • View live responses and payloads

  • Debug issues without leaving the dashboard

You’re working with your actual environment so everything reflects live data. It’s perfect for verifying setups before full automation.


API Security Features

Devdraft provides enterprise-grade API protection by default:

🔐 Scoped API Keys

Create and manage API keys with specific scopes and permissions:

  • Separate read/write access

  • Environment-specific keys (e.g. Production, Test)

  • Rotate or revoke instantly

🛡️ IP Whitelisting

Restrict API access to specific IP addresses to prevent unauthorized calls:

  • Add trusted server IPs to your app settings

  • Block all other incoming requests by default

  • Essential for secure backend environments

📜 Event Logging

Every API interaction is logged:

  • Track successful and failed requests

  • Monitor endpoint usage

  • Review webhook events and delivery attempts

This ensures complete visibility and traceability for every integration.


No Sandbox Needed

With Devdraft:

  • You don’t need a separate sandbox or testing account

  • The Live API Client works directly in your live environment

  • All responses reflect your actual app data — so you test what you’ll ship

This simplifies your development cycle and speeds up time to production.


Summary

Devdraft’s Developer Tools combine ease of testing with robust security controls — so you can build, test, and deploy confidently from a single platform.

Head to the Developer tab to test endpoints, monitor activity, and lock down your integration with enterprise-level controls.
