Debugging

When debugging output from the API, it can often be useful to have the JSON output rendered in an indented human-readable fashion.

To do this you use the indent-json option - passed as either a query string value e.g.

  • /api/permissions?indent-json=true
  • or just: /api/permissions?indent-json

Alternatively, you can also pass it as a request header (this is the method we recommend) using the same name and/or value as for the query string.

In responses where the indent-json option is set, a response header will be set with the name indent-json and a value of true.

Examples
