API monitoring just became even more powerful! Our Multi-step API monitoring allows you to monitor the performance and behavior of your APIs. Aside from tracking response speed and uptime, it also lets you identify key data points returned by your API, and set alerting on those data attributes when they don’t meet the criteria you specify. Many Uptrends users use these features to identify unexpected results in their API’s responses.
However, our new Custom Metrics feature unlocks a new level of API monitoring. It can extract specific data points from the JSON or XML data returned by your API, and store it as custom data metrics in your Uptrends account. It will plot any numeric data that your API can return, allowing you to spot trends in your data that you couldn’t previously see. This powerful new feature is available for free for all Uptrends Enterprise users. Read more about setting up custom API metric monitoring .
