API Monitoring
Monitor all your APIs, all the time. Public, internal, applications, services, and critical workflows.
See application issues before they impact your users or customers.
Continuously test and monitor your APIs. Identify problems before customers notice, and get alerts immediately when applications don’t do what you expect. All with a fully-featured interface, direct CLI and configuration, and integrations to all the tools you use to manage incidents.
1. Setup
Configure API workflows manually or from a curl command, or import them directly from Postman Collections or your OpenAPI spec definition.
2. Monitor
Monitor consistently from over 125 worldwide locations. Set customized intervals, add downtimes, and manage schedules.
3. Report
Send alerts immediately, investigate issues easily, and share reports with stakeholders seamlessly, and all with enterprise-grade security.
Setup API calls simply and quickly
Setting up API monitoring is as simple as entering a URL. Our user-friendly interface lets you make any type of HTTP call, and test it right there in the browser – or from 125+ locations around the world.
You’ll get instant results, which means instant answers and instant solutions – before your customers even know something is wrong.
Create Functional Workflows
Test critical API sequences using our multi-step API workflow tool. , Mange variables at each API call step, including external calls to websites and other services for handling complex authentication scenarios including OAuth2, and more advanced standards like and scenarios.
Global reach, inside and out
Monitor simultaneously from 125+ data centers from all the major cloud providers including AWS, Azure, IBM, Google, and Akamai.
And add agents inside your network to monitor APIs behind your firewall or anywhere that you need to keep protected.
Integrated Reporting and Insights
Advanced reporting for incident management, and executive summaries. No matter what your needs, we capture the full data trace and payload, and give you the tools to understand your API resiliency.
Monitor secure API calls
Don’t use insecure scripts that require an API key and secret to test only parts of your API functionality.
Leverage our full OAuth handling, including JWTs, mTLS, FAPI validation, and more.
Know that your most important APIs function as you intend.
Conformance Ready
Validate conformance against your OpenAPI specification or your security standards.
And verify conformance against service level objectives and other performance metrics.
Alert when and How you need
When something goes wrong, you need to know immediately. Set up alerts via webhooks or OpenTelemetry, with pre-configured integrations into dozens of platforms.
Uptime Monitoring vs Synthetic Monitoring
APIContext offers two different types of API call monitoring: uptime and full synthetic.
Uptime monitoring, sometimes called heartbeat monitoring, checks to make sure an application is alive and responding, allowing you to choose a set number of API calls that we will check as often as once a minute. Run from a single cloud, it ensures you know immediately when your APIs are down.
Full synthetic monitoring allows you to validate every aspect of your APIs from all our points of presence, sending variables between them, automatically retrying on failure, and verifying conformance.
