Updates live as you typeI'm looking at the response body from an API call and I need to understand it before I do anything with it.
API I called: {{api_name}}
The endpoint + method: {{endpoint}}
What I asked for: {{request_intent}}
The full response body (paste verbatim): {{response_body}}
Walk me through:
1. WHAT EACH TOP-LEVEL FIELD MEANS — in plain English. If a field is nested, summarise what the nested object holds; don't read every key.
2. WHAT TO USE: which 1–3 fields are the ones I'll actually need to extract for {{request_intent}}.
3. ANY ERROR / WARNING signs in the response (status, error keys, 'next_page' patterns I should check before assuming I have all the data).
4. NEXT REQUEST I'd typically make based on this response.
Plain English. Use the actual values from the response in your explanation, not placeholders.Fill in the required fields above to copy or run this prompt.
