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.

Keep your API-powered services running smoothly

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.

Prevent cascading failures

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.

SMS and voice call notifications

No internet? We can call or text you when something goes wrong.

Know more than

just up or down.

Multi-location checks, response time tracking, SSL and domain expiry alerts. The details that turn raw uptime data into something you can actually act on.

Frequently asked questions.

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.

Yes. We support Basic and Digest authentication, and JWT tokens via custom headers. OAuth2 support is in the works.

Absolutely. Set a maximum response time per API and get notified if your service exceeds it.
