Lately, API monitoring has been on my mind. The majority of tools (such as Pingdom and UptimeRobot) only verify that your API is returning a 200 OK.
However, what if the response structure has changed but your API is returning 200 OK? similar to:
Prior to:
{
"user": {
"name": "John"
}
}
Following:
{
"user": {
"full_name": "John"
}
}
Monitoring reports are ok and the API returns 200, but your frontend is broken.
- Are you on the lookout for this? How?
- Has "breaking changes with 200 OK" ever caused you any pain?
- What equipment do you use? What irritates you?
Currently, it appears that the following options are available: Postman Monitors ($49/user/month; too expensive)
Checkly (nice but complicated)
Create your own scripts.
Interested in the opinions of the community? Is this actually a problem?
