Developer tools for API developers
Debug tokens, payloads, headers and webhooks without uploading sensitive request data. These tools and workflows run locally in your browser, so you can inspect production traffic safely while building and testing APIs.
Run the API Response Debugger workflow → Browse JSON & API tools →
Common daily tasks
- Decode and inspect bearer tokens during auth debugging
- Pretty-print and validate JSON API responses
- Verify Stripe, GitHub and Slack webhook signatures
- Validate a payload against a JSON Schema
- Convert a cURL command into client code
- Sanitize a request log before pasting it into a ticket
Recommended workflows
- API Response Debugger — format a response and flag any secrets left in the payload.
- JWT Inspector — decode a token's header and claims locally.
- JWT Claims Secret Scan — decode claims and flag embedded secrets before sharing.
Top tools for API developers
JWT Decoder
Inspect token header and claims locally while debugging auth.
Decode a JWT →Webhook Signature Verifier
Recompute Stripe/GitHub/Slack/RSA signatures to find why a webhook fails.
Verify a webhook →cURL Converter
Turn a cURL command into fetch, Axios or Python requests code.
Convert cURL →JSON Schema Validator
Validate a payload against Draft 7 / 2019-09 / 2020-12 schemas.

Why browser-local matters for API developers
API debugging means handling bearer tokens, signing secrets and real request bodies. Your pasted tool data is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded for tool processing. That means you can inspect production traffic without sending credentials to a third-party service.
FAQ
Do these API tools send my payloads to a server?
No. Your pasted tool data is processed locally in your browser and is not uploaded for tool processing, so tokens, request bodies and secrets stay on your machine.
Can I decode and inspect a JWT without uploading it?
Yes. The JWT Decoder parses the header and payload claims locally so you can check issuer, audience and expiry while debugging auth, and you can scan the claims for accidental secrets before sharing.
How do I debug a failing webhook signature?
Use the Webhook Signature Verifier. Paste the raw body, the signing secret and the signature header to recompute the signature and see exactly why a Stripe, GitHub, Slack or custom signature does not match.
Can I turn a cURL command into code?
Yes. The cURL Converter turns a copied cURL command into fetch, Axios, Python requests and other client code, which is handy when moving from a quick test to a real integration.
