About

APIs aren't just plumbing. They're critical to your business, your apps, and your reputation. That means you need to make sure they're always up, working and performing as they should. Don't let customers call you to tell you your API is down. Don't suffer bad app reviews because of slow or unreliable APIs. Traditional monitoring services were designed long before APIs became core to modern applications. API Science is designed specifically for monitoring APIs. Sure, we understand REST, JSON, OAuth, XML. No problem. Our worldwide API monitoring network lets you see how developers and apps really experience your APIs. You setup API monitors with your own tests. We then call your APIs (up to every minute) from around the world. If anything goes wrong we'll immediately let you know. Quickly identify performance issues, outages, errors. Troubleshoot faster and easier.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Able to monitor my clients websites by keyword, hosting and different ways. Able to create status reports. Receive sms and phone call is a site goes down. Great UI.
  • Uptime is a reliable and complex solution for us. Great plus are the advanced escalation policies and heartbeats, checking if our background jobs get done.
  • Simple setup. Highly reliable (didn't miss a thing so far). Friendly UI, intuitive workflow. Heartbeats for CRON jobs are a great touch. Highly customizable call scheduling. Loads of integrations. Helpful and friendly support.
  • Easy to setup and use. Intuitive design and UX. Free tier is really good for being free. Checks every 3 minutes. Monitors for prescheduled tasks. Very reliable.
  • Fast and reliable incident reporting. Error screenshots and logs. Ping checks every 30 seconds. Heartbeats checking cronjobs. Customizable status pages on custom subdomains.

Cons

  • Sometimes I get notifications saying a site is down but it's not. It's a bit confusing to set up. I don't know what's happening when it gives me error code for some reason but website has not gone down.
  • I didn't really notice any big issues with the service's functionality. We'd appreciate Dark Mode, Telegram integration and some of the advanced features could be available on their lower-tier plans.
  • Status pages lack a few features, but it seems some related updates are coming soon.
  • I'm a student and payed plans are out of my reach, but no big problem with free tier.
  • I'd welcome some of the advanced features in the freelancer plan. Otherwise, not much to complain about.
