Weekly “No Energy” API Performance Report

APIContext provides enterprises with end-to-end visibility, proactive risk measures, and comprehensive monitoring capabilities for their APIs. The platform empowers businesses to optimize API performance, mitigate security risks, ensure regulatory compliance, and deliver exceptional product experiences.

In a frankly stunning turn of events in the course of our API performance reporting, the Department of Energy experienced NO ERRORS LAST WEEK! We couldn’t be prouder.

In the vain of carrot and not stick, let’s also celebrate the week’s most improved API performance: the U.S. Department of Commerce!

Dept of Commerce in the US Government collection increased by 172% from 2.65 (in the Red Zone) to 7.22 (in the Yellow Zone). This was due to their recovery from an absolutely massive outlier rate last week.

As usual, the pictures tell the story. Here’s Commerce’s API performance previously:

And here it is now! Congrats, Commerce!

In other news, there were a few underperforming APIs last week. Let’s give it a look.

nasa api performance

NASA in the US Government collection decreased by 31% from 7.75 (in the Yellow Zone) to 5.32 (in the Red Zone).

How bad was it? Yep, there were so many errors they couldn’t even show up on the graph. This was due to a massive outage across a large portion of the week (there were so many failures the graph won’t load properly). The monitored asteroids endpoint sent clients in a redirect loop, redirecting them back to its self continuously before the client gives up.

And finally, Tesco Bank had a poor API performance.

Tesco Bank in the Open Banking UK Production collection dropped 11 places. This was mainly due to a number of very slow outliers throughout the week.
