To debug REST API connectivity and timeout issues, execute terminal curl commands and Python requests scripts to systematically isolate the failing network layer. This Skill guides you through a layered debug flow to verify if the problem stems from DNS, connection drops, or server timeouts.

Troubleshooting GraphQL API authentication and request format errors involves executing Python scripts to send test queries and inspect returned status codes. This Skill provides step-by-step guidance to validate your headers, tokens, and query schemas against the expected API response formats.

Diagnosing TLS/SSL certificate failures when calling an API requires running curl commands with verbose flags to inspect the SSL handshake process. This Skill helps you identify mismatched certificates, expired credentials, and untrusted certificate authorities blocking your API requests.

Parsing and validating REST and GraphQL API responses uses Python requests to capture the JSON payload and run semantic validation checks. This Skill helps you verify the response schema, extract specific data fields, and confirm the API returns the correct semantic values.

Yes, this API debugging approach works with both curl and Python requests, utilizing terminal commands and Python scripts to execute tasks and verify API responses. It leverages these two dependencies to diagnose connectivity, timeouts, and authentication issues across REST and GraphQL protocols.

A REST API returning a 401 status code indicates an authentication failure, which you can fix by debugging your authorization headers and tokens using curl commands. This Skill guides you through the authentication layer to isolate missing credentials, expired tokens, or malformed header formats.
