Debug a REST API 400 error by validating the request body schema and verifying Content-Type and Accept headers. This Skill guides you through checking these common pitfalls and resolving silent errors in response bodies to fix failing HTTP requests.

Parse REST API responses from curl by piping the output to jq for JSON extraction. This Skill requires curl for executing HTTP requests and jq for effectively parsing the response data to surface silent errors or hidden fields.

Best practices for REST API authentication and headers include setting correct Content-Type and Accept values and managing secure credentials. This Skill provides guidelines to avoid incorrect headers and authentication failures during API consumption.

Handle REST API pagination by sequentially requesting subsequent page endpoints and parsing links with jq. This Skill addresses pagination complexities to ensure complete data retrieval across multi-page API responses.

Yes, curl and jq are required to effectively integrate and debug REST APIs. Curl executes the HTTP requests while jq parses the JSON response bodies, allowing you to identify silent errors and validate response schemas.

A POST request may fail silently due to incorrect request headers or an invalid body schema. Use this Skill to inspect the response body with jq, validate your payload schema, and correct mismatched Content-Type headers.
