Use URL parameters when you need a link that opens the Inspector on a specific server, starts a connection automatically, or restores a tab.

Parameters

Select or connect to a server

Use server when the Inspector should select a saved server by URL:
If the server is not saved yet, the Inspector treats the HTTP(S) value like autoConnect and connects to it.

Auto-connect on load

Use autoConnect when a link should create the connection immediately:
For advanced connection options, pass a URL-encoded JSON object. The url field is required.
Supported JSON fields are url (required), name, transportType ("http" or "sse"), connectionMode ("auto", "direct", or "proxy"), autoProxyFallback, connectionType ("Direct" or "Via Proxy" for older links), customHeaders, auth, requestTimeout, resetTimeoutOnProgress, and maxTotalTimeout.
When passing a JSON object for autoConnect, URL-encode the value so special characters are valid in the query string.

Open a tab

Use tab by itself to restore a view, or combine it with server or autoConnect.
The Inspector also updates tab as you move between server tabs, so refreshes keep the current view.

Embedded mode

Use embedded=true when the Inspector is hosted inside another UI, such as an iframe.
Use embeddedConfig with a URL-encoded JSON object when the embedded host needs styling overrides.
Open the hosted Inspector and connect to a server:
Open the hosted Inspector, connect to a server, and show Tools:
