You’ll get instant results, which means instant answers and instant solutions – before your customers even know something is wrong.

API Monitoring

Create Functional Workflows

Multi-step, functional sequences of calls to test core functionality of your APIs – handling variables at each step including external calls to websites and other services for handling complex auth scenarios like Financial Grade API.

Global, multi-Cloud reach

Monitor simultaneously from 100s of data centers from all the major cloud providers including  AWS, Azure, IBM, Google, and Akamai.

Add new custom locations with our containerized agents and deploy them inside your firewalls and infrastructure.

Integrated Reporting and Insights

We have you covered

Uptime API Monitoring vs Synthetic API Monitoring

APIContext offers two different types of API call monitoring: uptime and full synthetic.

Our uptime monitoring is a simple API call that checks for downtime, allowing you to choose a set number of API calls that we will check as often as once a minute. Synthetic monitoring allows you to thoroughly check your APIs, sending variables between them, automatically retry on failure, across 100+ locations. Uptime monitoring will give you a more simple overlook from a single cloud location, ensuring you know when your critical APIs are having issues at a quick glance

Real API Security

Don’t skimp on security or use insecure scripts to get around OAuth flows. Use the only synthetic API monitoring product that can handle all forms of API security include OAuth, JWTs and FAPI levels of security without presenting a risk or expanding your attack surface.

API conformance checks automatically

Conformance Ready

Create calls direct from Open API specifications and validate the returned content against the specification used.

Get real time conformance and performance alerts and data including Schema and Service Level Objective alerts

Webhooks

Alerting the way you want it

Error and performance change alerts via email or webhook. Integrated OpenTelemetry or webhooks for critical tools.

APIContext API monitoring gives you the information you need – before you knew you needed it.

Don’t wait.

Get an alert BEFORE it breaks.
