Any way to throttle calls to a specific API in Chrome DevTools while leaving others unthrottled?

I have a single page application that communicates with a few different APIs, and I am hoping to throttle requests made to a specific one for testing. Is it possible to be domain specific with network throttling using Chrome DevTools?

I know you can throttle the network in Chrome and simulate a slow connection (e.g. Regular 3G connection) via the Network conditions tab, but this affects all requests. I am hoping to just affect one specific API to simulate the situation where this other service is really slow but all others are fine.

If you can change the URLs, there's a site http://www.deelay.me/ that is a delay proxy for HTTP resources. For example, if you want URL http://example.com/example to be delayed by 5 seconds, change it to http://www.deelay.me/5000/http://example.com/example.
