• Open Xano and head over to the workspace where your API endpoint lives.
• Click on the "API" option from the left-hand sidebar to see all your endpoints.

• Find the endpoint you want to enable compression for, or create a new one by hitting the "Add API Endpoint" button.
• Click on the endpoint to open up its settings.

• Inside the endpoint settings, go to the "Advanced" tab, usually on the right or at the top.
• Click to expand the advanced settings section.

• In the advanced settings, look for "Response Compression."
• Check the box to turn on response compression for this API endpoint.
• Save your settings.

• Use a tool like Postman or curl to make a request to your endpoint.
• Check that the response headers include Content-Encoding: gzip or Content-Encoding: br, confirming the response is compressed.

• Go back to the advanced settings of your endpoint.
• If Xano supports request compression, find "Request Compression" and check the box to enable it.
• Save your settings again.

• Send a compressed request to your endpoint to make sure it can handle compressed incoming data.
• Use tools like Fiddler or Postman set up to send compressed requests.
• Confirm that Xano is correctly decompressing the request and processing it as expected.

• Regularly keep an eye on the performance of your API endpoints to ensure compression is boosting efficiency.
• Use analytics and logging features in Xano to track response times and data transfer sizes.

• Based on your performance monitoring, tweak the compression settings as needed to balance performance and resource usage.
• Revisit the advanced settings to adjust compression options, if necessary.

This guide helps you set up both request and response compression for API endpoints in Xano, ensuring efficient data transfer and optimized API performance.
