Eliminate transient ISP network blips. Concurrent checks across US-East, EU-Central, and AP-South require a quorum threshold before raising an alert.
Verify internal microservices with client certificates and custom enterprise Root CAs. RSA & EC private keys are strictly encrypted with zero client leakage.
Wake your on-call engineering team in under 500ms via native WhatsApp alerts, Slack Webhooks, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.
Automated synthetic checks execute continuously in 4 deterministic steps.
Configured headers, query params, authentication tokens, and payload bodies are dispatched from edge runners.
Uptara verifies expected status code (e.g. 200 OK), JSON body paths, and ensures latency stays below timeout thresholds.
If a check fails in one region, backup edge nodes verify whether the outage is global or local before alerting.
An incident is opened, recorded in your SLA ledger, published to your public status page, and sent to on-call channels.

}API uptime monitoring is the automated process of sending continuous synthetic requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to an HTTP endpoint from distributed edge locations to verify its availability, status code, latency, and response body integrity.
Single-region monitors often trigger false incident alerts due to local ISP glitches or transient routing blips. Uptara probes your API concurrently from multiple global regions (US-East, EU-Central, AP-South). An incident is only opened when a quorum threshold of independent regions confirm failure.
Uptara allows you to upload custom client certificates, private keys, and custom Root CAs. Private keys are encrypted at rest with zero client-side leakage and synthesized into ephemeral SSLContexts during probe execution.
Check intervals can be configured from 180 seconds on the Free tier down to 30 seconds on Pro and 10 seconds on Business tiers with 24/7 global execution.
Uptime is calculated using the formula: Uptime % = ((Total Monitored Time - Confirmed Downtime) / Total Monitored Time) * 100. Uptara records all checks in hourly and daily rollups with 90-day retention.
