API Performance insights
Advanced Web API Monitoring for Optimal Performance
Whether you manage a few APIs or oversee a vast network of web services, stay ahead of potential issues with Dotcom-Monitor’s advanced Web API monitoring solutions.
Supported API Types
REST (Representational State Transfer)
Uses standard HTTP methods like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
Heavily standardized and uses service interfaces to expose business logic.
GraphQL
Allows clients to request exactly the data they need, making it efficient for complex systems with many entities.
Multi-step API Monitoring
Multi-step API Monitoring goes beyond basic single response checks to cover the full spectrum of API interactions. This process often involves reusing IDs, tokens, and other variables across a series of requests, which may also require handling bearer token authentication or OAuth. Our Multi-step API Monitoring effectively manages diverse scenarios by evaluating responses in both JSON and XML formats, extracting key values, and smoothly crafting follow-up requests. This comprehensive approach ensures thorough performance validation throughout the entire sequence of API calls.
Supported API Communication Protocols
HTTP/HTTPS
The foundation of any data exchange on the Web and a protocol used for transmitting hypermedia documents, such as HTML.
WebSocket
Provides full-duplex communication channels over a single TCP connection.
Supported Data Format Standards
JSON (JavaScript Object Notation)
Lightweight data-interchange format, easy for humans to read and write, and easy for machines to parse and generate.
XML (eXtensible Markup Language)
A markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable.
Protocol Buffers
Google's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data.
Supported API Security Standards
OAuth
An open standard for access delegation, commonly used as a way for Internet users to grant websites or applications access to their information on other websites but without giving them the passwords.
OpenID Connect
A simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol.
JWT (JSON Web Tokens)
Compact, URL-safe means of representing claims to be transferred between two parties.
