SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests.

What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured, layered approach to debugging REST and GraphQL API issues, helping you isolate failures in connectivity, authentication, or payload formatting before they impact your production environment.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Diagnosis: Systematically verify connectivity, TLS, authentication, and response parsing to pinpoint the exact failure point.
  • GraphQL Validation: Inspect complex GraphQL queries and error fields to identify schema or semantic mismatches.
  • Regression Testing: Generate and run smoke tests to ensure API contracts remain intact after changes.

Quick Start

Use the rest-graphql-debug skill to perform a verbose curl request against the target API endpoint to identify the root cause of the current connection error.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug REST API integration failures with curl?

To debug REST API integration failures, you can perform a verbose curl request against the target endpoint to systematically verify connectivity, TLS, and authentication, isolating the exact failure point before it impacts production.

What is the best way to diagnose GraphQL schema validation errors?

The best way to diagnose GraphQL schema validation errors is through a systematic layer-by-layer inspection that checks complex queries and error fields to identify semantic mismatches and validate the API contract.

Do I need Python to inspect REST and GraphQL API connectivity issues?

Yes, you need Python execution capabilities for complex API contract validation and regression testing, along with terminal access to run network diagnostics like verbose curl requests for connectivity issues.

Why does my API connection fail during authentication and payload formatting?

Your API connection fails during authentication and payload formatting due to misconfigured credentials or malformed requests, which can be pinpointed by systematically verifying TLS and response parsing layers.

Can I generate regression smoke tests to ensure API contracts remain intact?

Yes, you can generate and run smoke tests to ensure API contracts remain intact after changes by validating response parsing and executing complex API contract validation during your development workflow.
