Your first probe

This guide walks you through creating a project, adding an HTTP probe, and sending your first request.

1. Create a project

[SCREENSHOT: Sidebar with “New project” button highlighted]

Click New project in the left sidebar, enter a name, and confirm. Projects are the top-level container for probes and chains.

2. Add an HTTP probe

[SCREENSHOT: Empty project with “New probe” dropdown open, HTTP selected]

Inside your project, click New probe and choose HTTP. A new probe opens in the editor.

3. Configure the request

Fill in the target URL and select the HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.). You can also add:

• Headers — custom request headers
• Query parameters — appended to the URL
• Request body — for POST/PUT/PATCH requests
• Cookies

4. Send the probe

Click Send. VirtuProbe connects to the target and displays the response:

• Status code and response time
• Response headers
• Response body with syntax highlighting

5. View history

Every send is recorded. Open the History panel at the bottom of the probe to browse previous responses.

Next steps

• Add assertions to automatically validate the response
• Use environments to parameterize the URL and headers with {{variables}}
• Chain this probe with other protocols in a chain
