Introduction

Apitally is for teams tired of complex monitoring platforms. It makes it easy to understand API usage, monitor performance and troubleshoot issues by adding a few lines of code to your app; it works with most popular web frameworks.

Dashboards cover traffic, errors, performance, consumers, request logs and alerts. A newer CLI and skill let coding agents query Apitally. If you exceed your request log quota it stops ingesting new requests until the next month, without affecting API metrics.

Launch and background: Apitally was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN on 3 February 2025.
