I'm very new to API testing.

I'm trying to make use of Google Chrome's developer tools to understand and explore this subject.

Question 1:
Is it possible to get the response (possibly in JSON format) of a simple GET request using chrome developer tools?

What I'm currently doing is:

  • Open chrome developer tools
  • Go to Network tab
  • Clear existing logs
  • Send a post request simply by hitting a URL. e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask
  • Check the corresponding docs loaded enter image description here

    Question 2:
    What are the relevance "Reponse Headers" shown on the image above? I mean, am I correct to think that this is the response I am getting after doing the GET request?

    Any help or references you can give are much appreciated!
