Debug Mode
Test and debug APIs and workflows directly in Fastgen.
Overview
Debug Mode is a core functionality on Fastgen which offers valuable insights into the execution of APIs and workflows. It provides you a detailed view of which actions have executed successfully and which haven’t. With context data for each action you can identify problems and fix them quickly to ensure they run smoothly.
To get started select the “Debug Mode” option from your API or Workflow editor. If you inspect a newly built API that has not been called before, send your first “Test Draft” to test it.
When sending test requests, you’re able to send Header, Body and URL paramaters to simulate scenarios. Further, you can send Authentication in form of a bearer token.
Keep in mind that newly created API endpoints are not public by default, so you if you want to test APIs without sending a token, turn the endpoint into a public route in the Top Action block.
