# Using Fiddler with Decisions

## Overview

[Fiddler](https://www.telerik.com/fiddler/fiddler-classic) is a comprehensive web debugging and analysis tool. For Decisions, Fiddler can be used to assist with debugging API calls by providing access to the request headers/details. This article will cover the necessary changes needed to utilize Fiddler.

2. Once opened, the following needs to be added within the **AssemblyBinding** block within the file:

```markup
<system.net>
<defaultProxy
                enabled = "true"
                useDefaultCredentials = "true">
<proxy autoDetect="false" bypassonlocal="false" proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" usesystemdefault="false" />
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
```
