To debug REST and GraphQL API connectivity and authentication issues, use a structured debugging flow with Python requests and curl to isolate problems at each network layer. This approach resolves status codes, schemas, and request format errors efficiently.

Handling HTTP status codes during API testing requires an HTTP status playbook to systematically address 401, 403, 404, 422, and 429 errors. This ensures proper troubleshooting of authentication, routing, and rate limiting for REST and GraphQL endpoints.

To validate GraphQL schemas and REST API responses against expected contracts, apply contract validation techniques. This verifies response schemas match documentation and confirms API integration behaves correctly during regression testing.

Yes, you can use Python requests and curl for terminal-based API debugging and regression testing. This approach provides scripts and templates to test endpoints, capture correlation IDs, and validate secure token handling.

API pagination or idempotency operations fail during troubleshooting due to improper handling of request layers. Using a structured debugging flow ensures correct pagination tracking and safe execution of idempotent operations.
