Manual API testing with Clerk JWT authentication involves generating a valid token, submitting it in request headers, and verifying endpoint responses. This Skill provides step-by-step commands for token generation, endpoint health checks, and request validation on Docker-based FastAPI services.

Yes. This Skill provides verified, WSL-compatible commands for testing Docker-based FastAPI endpoints. The commands are validated for Windows Subsystem for Linux environments and ARM64 Docker Desktop setups.

Submit a URS file via API endpoint using Clerk authentication, then poll the job status endpoint to monitor asynchronous processing. This Skill guides token generation, file submission, real-time job status polling, and container log inspection across Docker environments.

The workflow covers token generation from Clerk, validating token authenticity, submitting authenticated requests to your FastAPI endpoint, and inspecting responses. This Skill provides end-to-end guidance from initial token creation through functional validation and test-suite execution.

Access container logs during API testing to diagnose endpoint behavior and verify job processing. This Skill includes commands for live log inspection across WSL2 and ARM64 Docker setups, enabling real-time visibility into asynchronous job execution.
