What ObserveOne API Monitoring is
ObserveOne API Monitoring runs saved HTTP requests on demand or on a schedule and checks them against assertions for status codes, response times, JSON path values, headers, and response-body text. Checks can use scheduled retries, configurable timeouts, and selected execution regions. Authentication options include Bearer, Basic, API-key, and OAuth2 client-credentials methods through vault references. Each check has a write-only secrets vault; stored monitoring secrets are encrypted with authenticated AES-256-GCM, while results remain readable. Alert destinations include email, Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, SMS, and webhooks. The product offers a web dashboard, CLI, MCP server, and REST API. GitHub integration can trigger runs on pushes and post statuses and comments on pull requests; the Netlify extension runs selected suites after successful deployments. An open-source engine can be self-hosted with Docker Compose. The free plan costs nothing and has a two-hour minimum URL-monitor interval. Starter costs $6 a month, billed annually. Cloud TCP, UDP, and database checks need publicly reachable targets.
