Answer 1

In case your action not returning html code (e.g json API) and you want to use profiler:

Quick and dirty solution:

return new Response("Debug data");

Even quicker and dirtier solution - returning non Response type in controller will raise exception with profiler enabled response:

return 1;

If your application is running by Symfony >=2.4 you can also use X-Debug-Token which contains debug token and X-Debug-Token-Link header which contains link to profiler page. If you want to use this method Chrome extension Symfony2 Profiler shortcut will increase your user experience.
