API Endpoint Monitor
Send custom HTTP requests and validate responses for your API endpoints.
How it works
Similar to the HTTP monitor but designed for APIs. You can send a request with custom headers, a request body, and validate the response status code, headers, and body content.
Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| URL | The API endpoint URL. |
| Method | GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE. |
| Headers | Custom request headers (e.g. Authorization, Content-Type). |
| Authentication | Basic Auth or Bearer Token. |
| Accepted Status Codes | Valid response codes (default: 200-299). |
| Timeout | Max response wait time. |
Use cases
- Monitor REST API health endpoints
- Verify API authentication is working
- Check that API responses contain expected data
- Monitor third-party API availability
