This page holds relationship data of how the API interacts with dependencies, the API components, an OpenAPI preview, and logs and events aggregated across all endpoints.

**Test API Endpoints**

You can use the **Play Request** feature in Software Catalog to send test HTTP requests to your endpoints and inspect the responses.

To send a test request:

1. Navigate to an endpoint in Software Catalog.
2. Click an endpoint to open its details in the side panel.
3. Click **Play Request** to configure and send the request.

{{< img src="/tracing/software_catalog/play-request.png" alt="Play Request modal to test API requests in Software Catalog" style="width:90%;" >}}

Before sending the request, you can configure the following:
- **Inputs**: Provide values for any required query parameters, path variables, or request body fields.
- **Authentication**: Select an authentication method if required by the endpoint.
- **Location**: Choose where the request should be sent from:
- Public Location (default)
- Private Location, for APIs accessible only within your private network. These must be configured using [Synthetics Private Locations][2]. Any Private Locations you've already set up appear automatically in the dropdown.

Use 'Synthetic Monitoring' instead of 'Synthetics'.

**Note**: Software Catalog contains HTTP endpoints that are automatically discovered by APM. The concept of endpoints correspond to [APM resources][1] for an APM web service.
