Runscope
Trust Your APIs
Runscope is an API monitoring service that runs scheduled tests against APIs and alerts teams when endpoints fail or degrade, helping reduce downtime and support tickets. Tests can run from 19 global locations at intervals down to one minute, with alerts delivered by email, webhook, and integrations including Slack, Datadog, and PagerDuty.
Core capabilities include Open API (Swagger) and Postman import, continuous integration support, data-driven testing, a private APIs/on-premises agent, daily performance reports, and an AI Script Script Assistant. Higher tiers add custom script libraries, reusable script snippets, enhanced response timings, SAML single sign-on, and client certificates.
Runscope is aimed at teams that need ongoing API reliability checks. Plans are named Small, Medium, and Large, each with a request allowance and team member limit, plus a Premier custom plan with optional add-ons such as premium support, Splunk integration, secrets management, and an SLA. A free trial is available, and request overages are billed separately.
