I’m having trouble with the RapidAPI testing interface when trying to examine API responses. I’m currently working with a financial data API and when I send test requests, the response appears in a small display box that doesn’t allow me to scroll through the results.
This is really frustrating because I can only see a tiny portion of the API response data. The box shows just what fits in the visible area and won’t let me scroll down to see the rest of the information. I need to understand the full structure of the response so I can properly integrate this API into my project.
The interface was working normally when I first started using it, but now this scrolling issue prevents me from examining the complete API responses. Has anyone else experienced this problem with RapidAPI’s testing tool? Should I try using a different browser or is there a setting I’m missing?
This is a browser compatibility issue that pops up with RapidAPI sometimes. I hit the same problem a few months back while testing a weather API. Switching to Firefox fixed it for me - Chrome and Safari seem to have rendering conflicts with their response container. You can also copy the response data straight from the box (even if you can’t see it all, Ctrl+A grabs everything) and paste it into JSONLint or a text editor. That way you can check the full structure without dealing with the interface mess. The problem usually fixes itself in a few days, but these workarounds will get you going right away.
i had that too! u can right-click the response box and hit ‘inspect element’ to see more data in dev tools. also, dont forget to clear your cache— that worked for me when rapidapi was acting up. hope it helps!
This response window sizing bug has been persistent. I typically zoom out to around 75-80%, which forces the container to resize and allows scrolling to work again. Another helpful tip is to open your browser’s network tab before making the API call; it will capture the full response separately from RapidAPI’s interface. This way, you can view the complete JSON without any interface issues. This approach is especially useful when handling large datasets where the interface tends to fail. Additionally, the network tab reveals actual headers and response codes, aiding in debugging.
