Frequently Asked Questions about rest-graphql-debug

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug a failing REST API call and check for authentication or schema issues?▼

To debug a failing REST API call, you need to check connectivity, authentication, request and response formats, and parsing. This skill automates API debugging by analyzing status codes, verifying credentials, and reproducing errors to pinpoint exact issues.

What is the best way to troubleshoot GraphQL endpoint errors and validate response formats?▼

Troubleshooting GraphQL endpoint errors involves validating schemas and analyzing response semantics. This skill reviews request and response formats, checks authentication tokens, and provides structured error reporting to resolve unexpected GraphQL failures.

How do I reproduce an API error to diagnose whether the issue is connectivity or request format?▼

Reproducing an API error requires executing the request and analyzing the response status code and headers. This skill automates error reproduction by running curl commands or Python scripts to test connectivity, auth, and request formatting.

Can I use curl and Python requests to automate HTTP API debugging for status code analysis?▼

Yes, you can use curl and Python requests to automate HTTP API debugging. This skill utilizes terminal-based commands and Python execution to check connectivity, verify authentication, and parse responses for structured error analysis.

Why does my API authentication verification fail when debugging endpoints with Python scripts?▼

API authentication verification fails when credentials or tokens are invalid or improperly formatted in the request headers. This skill checks for valid authentication tokens and analyzes status codes to identify whether the failure stems from auth or schema issues.
