Description

I am trying to use the API Connect plugin to read from an API that returns XML results. The plugin indicated that the connection was successful but no results returned. I would prefer if the plugin returned any kind of message to indicate that the API results cannot be read due to the incompatible format. This would save a lot of development time as I tried to troubleshoot why I wasn't getting my results.

Research direction

Start by locating the API Connect plugin's response-handling entry point and trace what happens when an API returns XML. Reproduce the successful-connection, empty-results case and verify that an incompatible response format produces a clear message instead of appearing to return no results.
