WHAT STATUS PAGES MISS

Your Stripe returns 200 — but the payment failed silently. Would you know?

APIAlert monitors real API behavior — not just uptime. Silent failures, schema changes, and degraded responses that return 200 while your checkout breaks.

Free for a while — 1 monitor, no card, no time limit.

THE SILENT FAILURE

Their status page shows ✅. Your users are getting errors.

Without API Alert

  • Stripe's status page shows All Systems Operational. Your checkout silently breaks — every API call returns 200.

  • Your uptime monitor reports green. No 503, no timeout — nothing to trigger an alert.

  • By 9 AM, your support inbox has 47 'payment failed' tickets. Your team debugs your own code for hours. The API was never down.

Result: 7 hours of silent revenue loss you never saw coming.

With API Alert

  • Alert at 2:03 AM: Stripe /v1/charges → HTTP 200 but charges.data is empty

  • APIAlert detected the behavioral change — not just the status code. Your APIs are tested for actual output, not just reachability.

  • You opened a ticket with Stripe before your first user noticed. The issue was resolved in 12 minutes.

Result: Caught silently. Fixed before anyone noticed.
HOW IT WORKS

Set up in 3 minutes. Know before your customers do.

1

Add any API. With or without auth.

Paste any endpoint URL. Add authentication headers if needed — Bearer token, API Key, or custom header. No code required.

2

We monitor every 60 seconds — with your real headers.

We ping your API with the exact same headers your app uses in production. A 200 with a broken payload won't fool us.

3

Your team gets alerted before your customer notices.

Instant Slack, Discord and e-mail alert the moment an API fails or degrades. You're always first to know.

Military-Grade Security

Your API keys stay with you

Monitoring authenticated APIs means trusting your credentials to someone.

Most monitors store this in plain text — or don't say how they protect it. We do it differently:

AES-256-GCM encryption

Credentials are encrypted directly in your browser before ever hitting our networks.

Database never sees raw values

Our platform only manages standard hashes, ensuring complete isolation of your secrets.

Automatic revoke pause

If a credential is officially revoked, monitoring pauses instantly to prevent false alarms.

Zero-downtime rotation

coming soon

Seamlessly rotate production monitoring keys without missing a single check window.

INSTANT ALERTS

Know before your users do

No email buried in spam. No dashboard nobody opens. When an API behaves unexpectedly, your Slack or Discord gets the full picture instantly — status code, endpoint, and what it means for your users.

WHAT WE DETECT

Not just 'is it up?' — we check if it actually works.

HTTP 200 — but the payload lied

Stripe returning 200 while charges.data is empty. OpenAI responding with no choices field. We verify the response is actually usable — not just that it arrived.

Your API key expired and nobody noticed

We send your real authentication headers on every check. A 401 or rejected token triggers a specific alert — not a misleading 'API is down' that sends you chasing the wrong problem.

A field your code depends on just disappeared

The provider shipped a breaking schema change. The field your app reads is gone from the response. We track response shape, not just response code.

Rate limits before your users hit them

A vendor is already throttling your requests and you don't know yet. You'll get the Slack alert before a user reports a broken feature.

8-second response — their status page shows green

Their status page says ✅. Your endpoint is taking 8 seconds instead of 200ms. We measure actual latency — not vendor self-reporting.

SSL certificate expires in 7 days

Automated TLS expiry check on every monitored endpoint. No more surprise 'connection not secure' outages for your users.

FAQ

Common questions.

UptimeRobot checks if your server is up. API Alert monitors whether the third-party API your product uses is actually responding — with the same headers and payload you use in production. A 503 from Stripe at 2 AM is not a server outage. It's a revenue problem.
You can. You'll spend 4 hours setting it up, have zero historical visibility, and get no Slack alert when it breaks at 2 AM. API Alert is the 2-minute version that doesn't need babysitting.
Your credentials are encrypted with AES-256-GCM before leaving your browser. Our database never sees the real value — only the encrypted text. Even we can't access it.
Starting at $49/month. No surprises. Cancel anytime.
Yes. GET or POST, authenticated or not. Bearer token, API Key, custom header — any format. If your app can call it, we can monitor it.
