The Network tab provides comprehensive insights into your API requests and responses. It's essential for:

* **Security Validation**: Review security headers and authentication details
* **Request/Response Inspection**: Examine headers, body, and status codes
* **Network Configuration**: Verify proxy settings and connection details
* **Troubleshooting**: Identify network-related issues and errors

This tab gives you complete visibility into the network layer of your API interactions, helping you validate response data and understand the full request lifecycle.
