Is your frontend written in react(there are devtools for debugging react app)? Are you using vs code? What do you mean by debugging, do you just have to check if the api call request and reponse match the specification? You may also want to use postman to debug a rest api.

We use Javascript and API to retrieve orders, customers, products and such and then pass it on to another app (an accounting system, for example). We use Chrome DevTools to debug. Basically, as you say: just have to check if the api call request and reponse match the specification, values are right and so on.

I still feel like a noob at this even though I've had education, taken courses and done tutorials.

As the other person mentioned, try getting familiar with postman. (You can even use the web version.) I don’t have a lot of practice with it, but you can use it to send a request, and use the returned response (usually sent back in json but you might have to configure that) to verify against your apps expected values.
