Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get my API response JSON to paste here?

In browser DevTools → Network tab, select the API request → Response tab → select all text → copy → paste here. Alternatively use curl -s URL | and paste the output.

Can I validate that my API response matches a schema?

Yes! After formatting, you can paste the JSON into our JSON Schema Generator to auto-create a Draft-07 schema, then use the JSON Schema Validator to validate payloads against it.

Does this work with non-JSON API responses?

This formatter is JSON-only. For XML responses (SOAP APIs), convert to JSON first or paste into a dedicated XML formatter.
