For a REST API, you could do the documentation for the live demo. It would be 100x nicer if you made a small app to interactively test the API instead, though I understand this won’t always be possible depending on the type of API.

Generally, REST APIs submitted to CodeCanyon have some sort of an admin panel to configure and monitor them. If your API has something like that, it should be included in the live demo.

Regarding the error page, I’m not too sure why that is happening. Could be that your item hasn’t gone far enough in the process to get a review page… maybe? I wouldn’t worry about it for now.

I will suggest you make a website demonstration on how the restful API can be use on integrate and this will be helpful to your buyers by showcasing what you have built using the Restful API
.

However you can submit a video demo as well.
