Ensure API reliability with proactive API monitoring.

Stay one step ahead with instant alerts on API downtime or slow responses.

Keep your API-powered services running smoothly.

Monitor your APIs for availability and performance issues before they disrupt users or cascade into system-wide outages across dependent services.

Prevent cascading failures.

APIs often power mission-critical services. When an API breaks, everything connected to it can fail. Be the first to know when something goes wrong.

Go beyond “200 OK” with response checks.

Don’t rely on status codes alone. Validate JSON, key fields, and expected values to catch broken responses, empty results, or unexpected messages before they cascade into bigger failures.

Great for AI APIs and model routers.

AI endpoints can be available but still return unusable output. Monitor endpoints from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, and OpenRouter. Validate structured JSON output, token usage, model metadata, and schema compliance to catch malformed responses.

Detect and respond to performance drops.

Set response time thresholds to detect slow or degraded API performance before your customers do.

All your monitoring in one place.

Website, server, and now API monitoring, tracked from a single intuitive dashboard.

Multi-location checks

Verify incidents from different global regions to avoid false positives.

Recurring notifications

Configure thresholds and frequency to avoid alert fatigue while staying on top of real issues.

Share incident updates

Keep stakeholders informed via Status Page email updates when an API incident is detected.

Authentication support

Monitor private APIs with Basic/Digest Auth, JWT, or bearer token via custom headers. OAuth2 support is on our roadmap.

Set up API monitoring in seconds.

1. Create a monitor

Start with any Ping or HTTP monitor to see the status, or Keyword monitor to check for a specific word in the API response. Use the target API endpoint as the URL.

2. Add authentication and headers

Use the custom header feature to pass tokens or credentials. Basic, Digest, and JWT are supported.

3. Set a response time threshold

Define your performance expectations. Get notified when the API responds too slowly or not at all.

4. Get alerts instantly

Get alerted anywhere with 20+ integrations, including Email, SMS, Slack, Webhook, MS Teams, PagerDuty, and more.

Frequently asked questions.

What is API monitoring?
API monitoring checks the availability and performance of an API by sending regular requests to an endpoint and verifying the expected response. If the API fails or responds too slowly, you’ll get alerted.
Can I monitor authenticated APIs?
Yes. We support Basic and Digest authentication, and JWT tokens via custom headers. OAuth2 support is in the works.
Can I set custom response time thresholds?
Absolutely. Set a maximum response time per API and get notified if your service exceeds it.
