Using Trace view

Elevate, May 20-22-2025, Miami Beach, Florida

The Trace view area lets developers see API traces.

From Trace view in the Developer area, you can use a request ID to see the trace of an API call in a graph view.

The empty Trace view area page

See API traces

To see API traces, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the request ID of the API call. You can find the ID in one of the following places:

    • Humio: From Humio, copy the request ID of the API call.
    • From your browser: From either your staging or production site, open the developer console of your browser. Copy the Frontastic-Request-Id header. For more information about how to find this header, see Trace a request from frontend to backend

  2. From the Studio home page or from the left menu, go to Developer > Trace view. Make sure that you are in the same environment as the site where you copied the request ID from. For example, if you copied the Frontastic-Request-Id header from your staging site, then you must be in the staging environment of the Studio.

  3. Paste the request ID into the search box, and then click Show results.
