Debugging API Request Headers

Many API failures come down to a header. Parsing the request headers is the fastest way to find which one.

Check content type and auth

A missing or wrong Content-Type, or a malformed Authorization header, causes a large share of API errors. Parse the headers and confirm both are exactly as the API expects.

Spot the unexpected

A structured view makes stray or duplicated headers obvious — useful when a proxy or client library adds something you did not intend.
