Visually inspect API Responses

Using API Dash, you can:

• Inspect the API Response (HTTP status code, error message, headers, body, time taken)
• View formatted code previews for responses of various content types like JSON, XML, YAML, HTML, SQL, etc.
• For APIs which return results as images, API Dash helps you save a lot of time by directly previewing these results and supports a wide variety of image file formats such as jpeg, png, gif, etc.
