SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests.

What problem does it solve?

This skill resolves complex API integration issues by providing a structured, layer-by-layer diagnostic framework for both REST and GraphQL services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Layered Diagnosis: Systematically isolates failures across connectivity, TLS, authentication, request formatting, and response parsing.
  • GraphQL Validation: Specifically handles GraphQL-specific error patterns where HTTP 200 status codes mask internal query failures.
  • Use Case: When an API integration fails intermittently, use this skill to perform a step-by-step audit of headers, timeouts, and payload schemas to identify the exact point of failure.

Quick Start

Use the rest-graphql-debug skill to perform a verbose curl request against the target endpoint to identify connectivity or authentication issues.

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 REST API integration failures systematically?▼

To debug REST API integration failures, perform a layer-by-layer diagnostic audit isolating connectivity, TLS, authentication, request formatting, and response parsing using verbose curl requests and Python probes.

Why does my GraphQL API return a 200 status code but the query fails?▼

GraphQL APIs often return HTTP 200 status codes even when internal query failures occur, requiring specific validation of response payloads to detect schema mismatches or query errors masked by successful HTTP statuses.

How do I diagnose intermittent API connectivity and rate-limiting issues?▼

Diagnose intermittent API connectivity and rate-limiting issues by executing diagnostic network probes to audit request headers, timeouts, and payload schemas, isolating the exact point of failure in distributed systems.

What's the best way to isolate API authentication and schema mismatch errors?▼

The best way to isolate API authentication and schema mismatch errors is through a structured, step-by-step audit of headers, timeouts, and payload schemas to validate contracts against the target endpoint.

Do I need Python requests to diagnose REST and GraphQL API issues?▼

Yes, you need the Python requests library along with standard terminal utilities to execute diagnostic network probes and perform contract validation when diagnosing REST and GraphQL API integration failures.
