Hey Apidog team,
We’ve been testing out Apidog for our company and really like how it helps streamline API workflows. But we’re currently blocked by two missing features that are pretty important for us:
Session Cookie Persistence – After we log in using our FastAPI backend (hosted on our domain), we can see the Set-Cookie in the response, but the cookie doesn’t get stored in the browser. This makes it impossible to maintain login across requests on the hosted docs. We saw on Discord that this isn’t supported yet, but just wanted to +1 it – it’s a must-have for us.
Auto-Sync with Main API – We generate hosted docs using our OpenAPI JSON, but every time our backend updates, we have to manually re-upload the spec. It would be great if hosted docs could auto-sync from a URL or trigger updates via webhook or some integration.
If these two features were available, our company would fully adopt Apidog. We’re hoping you might consider adding them to the roadmap.
Could you try using the “no proxy” option in your docs site settings? This might work if your domain supports CORS origin access or if you’re using a custom domain with permission to access your API domain. Here’s the documentation for reference: Request proxy in shared docs - Apidog Docs.
Thanks for the suggestion — I tried using the “No Proxy” option as you recommended, and I’ve confirmed that CORS is properly configured on our API. The domain is allowed and credentials are supported.
The issue still persists though:
When we log in via the hosted docs, the API sets a session cookie and we can see it in the browser’s Application tab under Cookies (so it is being stored). But as soon as we refresh the page, the cookie disappears from the browser — so we lose the session and can’t stay logged in across requests.
This makes it hard to test authenticated endpoints on the hosted docs.
Let me know if there’s any additional setting we might be missing or if this is still a limitation on hosted docs.
