# Platform / API Monitoring

## Monitor all your APIs, all the time.

Continuously test public APIs, internal services, applications, and critical workflows so you can identify problems before customers notice.

**Setup** | **Monitor** | **Report**  
**125+ locations** | **Secure synthetics**

### api.acme.com

- global synthetic  
- live  
- 10 regions  
- all healthy  
  
**GET \/v1/orders?status=open** _ap-south-1 -> ap-ne-1_ **200 · 96ms**

- p50 **164ms**
- p95 **318ms**
- conformance **OK**

**1m** uptime checks available  
**REST** SOAP, GraphQL, and workflows  
**OTEL** webhook and alert integrations

## From one URL to continuous production assurance.

Configure API workflows manually, from curl, from Postman Collections, or from OpenAPI specs. Then schedule checks, capture traces, and alert the right tools when behavior changes.

### API monitoring run

**setup to report healthy**  
- import from OpenAPI  
- **ready**  
- OAuth token refresh  
- **passed**  
- POST /checkout  
- **200 OK**  
- assert response body  
- **passed**

**global schedule**  
**125+ Points of Presence**  
- alert export  
- **OTEL + webhook**

## Setting up an API monitor is as simple as entering a URL.

- Enter a URL, make any HTTP call, test it in the browser, or import existing definitions. APIContext supports individual calls, sequences, variables, OAuth2, and advanced authentication scenarios.
- Configure manually, from curl, Postman, or OpenAPI
- Test calls in the browser before scheduling
- Build multi-step workflows with variables and assertions

```yaml
request: POST /checkout
auth: oauth.refresh()
body: cart.fixture('gold')
assert status == 200
assert json.total >= 0
schedule: every 60s
```

## Global reach, inside and out

### Monitor from the places your users actually are.

Run checks from 125+ data centers across major cloud providers including AWS, Azure, IBM, Google, and Akamai, and add private nodes for APIs behind your firewall.

- 125+ public monitoring locations  
- Cloud-provider and geography-aware checks  
- Private nodes for protected internal APIs

**Coverage 125+ data centers · all major clouds**
- All regions healthy

## Secure calls and conformance

### Verify the APIs that matter most.

Use full OAuth handling, JWTs, mTLS, FAPI validation, and conformance checks against OpenAPI specs, security standards, service objectives, and performance metrics.
- OAuth, JWT, mTLS, and FAPI validation  
- OpenAPI and security-standard conformance  
- Alerts through webhooks, OpenTelemetry, and incident tools

### secure synthetic check · auth posture

- **OAuth refresh** _token rotated before run_ pass  
- **JWT claims** _audience and expiry verified_ pass  
- **mTLS** _client cert accepted_ pass  
- **FAPI headers** _missing x-fapi-interaction-id_ watch
