WSO2 API manager returns binary response

Question

I am very new to WSO2 API manager and trying out my very first simple restful api. which returns json response and has no security since it is an internal api.

I installed WSO2 API manager locally and trying to call the rest api on my dev server which uses http and no security as I mentioned earlier.

Here is how my get url looks like:

and here is my url looks like for production and sandbox environment:

I don't have any message mediation enabled.

I went to the API store and created a trial application (so that I can get the access token. Eventhough, my dev environment api has no security, I was reading that for throttling and other purpose, I need to pass bearer token to the WSO2 api OR it will reject the request.)

When I am trying to consume the api, I get the following binary message.

Is there any way I can see the proxy log on WSO2 server so that I can see the request and its header sent to my dev server? How can I fix this binary response to get the proper json response?

I searched all over and can't find solution to it.

You can use below steps on WSO2 ESB or APIM to enable Wire Logs.

1. Uncomment below line in /repository/conf/log4j.properties

log4j.logger.org.apache.synapse.transport.http.wire=DEBUG

2. Restart Server.
