Configuring custom response headers in Xano lets developers tweak the metadata in API responses, making it easier to boost security, manage caching, or send extra info to clients. This is super handy for fine-tuning APIs to match certain app requirements.

How to configure custom response headers in Xano?

Step 1: Log into Xano

First things first, log into your Xano account with your credentials. Easy peasy.

Step 2: Navigate to Your API

Head over to the "API" section on the left-hand sidebar. This is your control center for managing and configuring your API endpoints.

Step 3: Select or Create an API Endpoint

Pick the API endpoint you want to tweak. If you don't have one yet, just click on the "+ Add Endpoint" button and set up the basics.

Step 4: Open the Endpoint Settings

Click on the API endpoint you want to edit. This will open up the settings where you can adjust various things, including response headers.

Step 5: Go to the "Response" Section

Scroll down in the endpoint settings until you hit the "Response" section. This is where you can manage how your responses look and what headers they include.

Step 6: Add Custom Headers

In the "Response" section, find the "Headers" option. Click "Add Header" to pop in a new custom header. Enter the name and value for your custom header.

Step 7: Save the Changes

Don't forget to hit the "Save" button after adding your custom headers. You don't want to lose your hard work!

Step 8: Test the API Endpoint

Go to the "Test" tab within the API endpoint settings and run a test call. This will help you make sure your custom headers are being added correctly to the HTTP response.

Step 9: Deploy and Use the API

Finally, deploy or publish your API endpoint following Xano's deployment steps. Your custom headers should now be included in all responses from this API endpoint.
