API Fortress

API Fortress was an API testing and monitoring platform that let engineering teams author, run, and continuously monitor functional and integration tests against REST and SOAP APIs, in the cloud or via an on-premise Docker-based agent. It was acquired by Sauce Labs in January 2020 and its capabilities were folded into the Sauce Labs API Testing product. The standalone apifortress.com developer surface has since been retired; as of this enrichment pass the domain no longer resolves (parked Route53 nameservers, no A records), the apifortress GitHub organization returns 404, and there is no live first-party API, docs, SDK, or well-known surface remaining to enrich.

API Fortress is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, API Testing, API Monitoring, Continuous Testing, and Quality Assurance.
