Description: API monitoring is the process of overseeing the performance and availability of application programming interfaces (APIs). This process involves collecting data on response times, error rates, resource usage, and other key indicators that allow for the assessment of an API’s health and functionality. API monitoring is essential to ensure that applications relying on these interfaces operate efficiently and without interruptions. Through specialized tools, developers can receive real-time alerts about potential issues, enabling them to take proactive measures to resolve failures before they impact end users. Additionally, API monitoring helps identify usage patterns and optimize performance, which can lead to a better user experience and increased customer satisfaction. In an environment where applications are becoming increasingly interdependent, API monitoring has become a fundamental practice for organizations seeking to maintain competitiveness and reliability in their digital services.
