Request history

Nouto records each request you send in the History tab of the sidebar. Use the tab to find a request you sent earlier, open it again with the same settings, or save it to a collection. History persists when you restart VS Code or the desktop app.

Recorded requests

Nouto records every request you send from a request tab, whether or not it’s saved in a collection. Each entry stores the method, URL, headers, query parameters, body, auth, status code, response time, and response size. History doesn’t store response bodies.

In VS Code, Nouto also records requests that fail before a response arrives. These entries have no status code. The desktop app records only requests that got a response.

Browse history

Open the History tab in the sidebar, next to Collections and Trash. Entries are grouped under Today, Yesterday, This Week, and Earlier. Each entry shows:

• The method badge
• The URL path and query string. Hover to see the full URL.
• The time since you sent it, for example 5m ago. Hover to see the full date.
• The response time, for example 150ms or 1.2s
• The status code, colored by range

More entries load as you scroll down.

Search, filter, and sort

Type in the search box to find entries whose URL, request name, or method contains the text. Click .* to switch to a regular expression search.

The bar under the search box has more filters:

• The method pills (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE) show only entries with the selected methods. Select several to combine them.
• URL and Headers set which fields the search box checks. Select Headers to also match request header names and values.
• The sort button orders entries by Newest First, Oldest First, Slowest First, Fastest First, By Status Code, or By Method.

Click the × at the end of the bar to clear the search, method filters, and sort order.

To see the history of one collection, right-click a saved request in the Collections tab and select View Send History. The History tab then shows only entries sent from that request’s collection. Click × on the Filtered badge to remove the filter.

Note

In the desktop app, search, method filters, sorting, and Find Similar don’t change the list. The tab shows every entry.

Entry actions

Right-click an entry, or click its ... button, to open the menu:

Action	Result
Open in New Tab	Opens the request in a new tab with the recorded method, URL, headers, parameters, auth, and body
Copy URL	Copies the full URL, with variables resolved
Save to Collection	Saves the request to a collection
Find Similar	Lists entries with the same URL, ignoring the query string
Delete	Removes the entry from history

Statistics

Click More actions (the ... button in the History toolbar) and select Statistics. The view shows the total number of requests, average response time, error rate, the date of the oldest entry, the status code distribution, the most-called endpoints, and requests per day. In VS Code, statistics cover the last 30 days. Select Statistics again to return to the list.

Export and import history

Click Import / Export in the History toolbar:

• Export History saves your history as JSON or CSV. The CSV file has one row per request with the timestamp, method, URL, status, duration, size, and request name.
• Import History reads a JSON file created by Export History. Nouto skips entries that are already in your history.

In VS Code, the Nouto: Export History and Nouto: Import History commands do the same.

Clear history

To delete every entry, click More actions and select Clear All History, then confirm. You can’t undo this.

Storage limit

The desktop app keeps the 2,000 most recent entries and drops the oldest entry each time you send a request past that limit. VS Code keeps every entry until you delete it or clear the history.
