API Transaction Monitoring
Multi-step API flows: log in, extract a token, use it in the next call.
An API transaction runs a sequence of HTTP requests in order. Each step can extract a value from a JSON response and reuse it later as {{variable}}, so a login-then-fetch flow is checked end to end.
What it detects
- Any step failing — network error, unexpected status or a missing assertion
- An extraction that finds nothing (e.g. a login that no longer returns a token)
- The step where a flow broke, with its result
How you're alerted
- The monitor goes down when any step fails, and the built-in “Monitor Down” alert fires.
Notifications go to any of 8 channels — see notifications.

- MonSPHERE's own workers — no region to pick
- Steps
- Method, URL, headers, body, expected status, body assertion, value extraction
- Dashboard
- Success rate, average and p95 execution time, the flow step by step with each step's duration and result, step performance, failed-step analysis and SLA status

View categoryWebsite Monitoring
Track uptime, response time, and page performance from every region you assign.
Advanced Website Monitoring
Regex assertions, forbidden keywords, and custom request headers and bodies — check what a page or API actually returns, including authenticated endpoints.
Ping Monitoring
ICMP checks for raw network reachability and latency tracking.
TCP Monitoring
Check that a host's port accepts connections, with connect time tracked from every region you assign.
Advanced TCP Monitoring
TCP over TLS plus send/expect validation — confirm a service actually answers correctly, not just that its port is open.
DNS Monitoring
Track DNS resolution and validate that returned records actually match the values you expect — catch a hijacked or silently changed record, not just a resolution failure.
Cron Job Monitoring
Inbound 'I'm alive' checks for cron jobs and background workers — alerts when a run goes missing, with every ping and each run's duration kept.
Synthetic Monitoring
Script a real multi-step browser journey — navigate, click, fill, wait, and assert — for user-flow monitoring beyond a simple uptime check.
