Payments, email, maps, AI, shipping — your product is built on other people's APIs. Service API monitors will watch them for you and tell you when a dependency fails, not your code.
A modern product has more dependencies than servers. When the email provider has an incident, sign-ups stop. When the payment API slows down, checkouts time out. The vendor's status page often admits it an hour later, and in the meantime your team is debugging code that is fine.
Service API Monitoring will check the APIs you depend on with real requests, from several locations, so you know within minutes when a dependency is the cause.
The plan for the first release. Every check will be stored in a full log, like all Upzilla monitors.
Calls to the endpoints you actually use, with your credentials.
Failed calls, error codes and slow answers.
When a provider starts refusing your requests.
Answers that come back wrong, not just late.
API Monitoring can already check any endpoint, including a third-party API.
Set up like every other Upzilla monitor, in a few minutes.
The endpoint and how to call it.
An API key used only for the checks.
An alert that names the provider.
Payments, email and authentication providers.
Payment gateways and shipping APIs.
Model APIs, their limits and latency.
CRM, accounting and other connected systems.
The same alert channels as every Upzilla monitor, as many as you like.
We are building it now; many new checks arrive before the new year. Create a free account to hear first.
API Monitoring checks an endpoint. Service API Monitoring will be built for third-party providers: their authentication, rate limits and the way they fail.
API Monitoring can already check any endpoint, including a provider's API.
Use a separate key with the smallest permissions the check needs; it will be used only to run the checks.
Start with 10 free monitors today — we will tell you the moment this one is ready.
