# Viewing Response Details

The Response tab helps you view and verify the results of an API request. An API response includes the response body, headers, and HTTP status code. You can check details such as the returned data, response time, and status to ensure the request executes correctly.

* **Response Header**: Displays response headers such as status code, content type, and other metadata. 
* **Response Body**: Shows the main content of the API response in all body formats (form-data, x-www-form-urlencoded and raw (JSON or XML)).

## Viewing Response in Element Repository

To view and validate the API response, perform the following actions: 

1. On the **Element Repository** page, after sending an API request, select the **Response** tab. 
2. On the **Response** tab, you can validate an API response using the following tabs: 

<details>
