Track the availability and response time of the API endpoints your customers depend on, using HTTP monitors in Service Status.

API Status

To watch the health of an individual API endpoint your customers call, monitor it as an HTTP check in Service Status. There is no separate API-monitoring product — an HTTP monitor pointed at the endpoint URL is exactly the tool for it.

Monitor an API endpoint

  1. Go to Operations → Service Status → Monitor Config.
  2. Create a new HTTP monitor.
  3. Set the endpoint URL, the expected status code (e.g. 200), any auth headers, the check interval, and the timeout.

The monitor then reports the same UP / DEGRADED / DOWN states, 90-day uptime percentage, and response-time history as any other service, and it appears on your public /status page.

Status states

StatusMeaning
UPOperational — response within threshold, expected status code
DEGRADEDResponse time above the degraded threshold (2,000 ms)
DOWNNo response, or an error response
ℹ

Alerting, escalation delays, and the public status page all work the same for an API-endpoint HTTP monitor as for any service — see Service Status.
