Use Echo APIs to validate credentials, test data formats, and simulate error responses while debugging Switch API integrations.
Use Testing & Debugging endpoints to validate credentials, test input formats, and simulate errors while debugging Switch API integrations.
Echo endpoints are lightweight test endpoints that help you confirm your client can authenticate, send correctly formatted values, parse standard responses, and handle errors before you call resource APIs.
Validate that your credentials can make an authenticated Echo request.
Return a Hello World! response when your credentials are valid.
Validate the appId and appKey used by your integration.
Validate a date-time, integer, or array value before using it in a resource API request.
Simulate API error responses so you can test your integration's error handling.
When to use Echo APIs
These Echo endpoints are ideal for:
- New developers who are beginning to use Switch APIs
- Debugging Switch API integration issues
- Validating credentials and data formats
- Testing error handling in your applications
All Echo API calls require a valid appId and appKey for authentication. Start with Echo Overview or Echo Hello, then use the validation and error endpoints to test specific integration behavior.
