Send JSON to validate if correctly formatted.
You can validate your JSON by using either an online linter, such as [https://jsonlint.com/](https://jsonlint.com/) or using [Postman](/testing/postman).

If you use a no-code tool such as Bubble or Make or receive a 500 "Bad Request" response, this endpoint is useful to debug the JSON request.

## Header Parameters

<HeaderAPI noProfileKey={true} />

<ul class="custom-bullets">
  <li>Send data as text. If using Postman, please be sure to select "Text" as the type.</li>
  <li>Set the `"Content-Type": "text/plain"`.</li>
</ul>

## Request Examples

Send any json to this endpoint to validate it.

Below is an example of invalid JSON using Postman. Can you spot it? A missing comma at the end on the second parameter `platforms`.

Be sure to set the `Content-Type` in the header as `text/plain` and select "Text" when sending.
