Runscope

Runscope is an API monitoring and testing platform that lets teams create, schedule, and run automated tests against their APIs to catch performance problems, uptime issues, and functional regressions before customers do. Originally an independent, a16z-backed startup, Runscope was acquired by CA Technologies in 2017 and is now delivered as the API Monitoring capability of BlazeMeter (a Perforce company). The product exposes a REST API for managing buckets, tests, environments, and test results, along with scheduled runs, integrations, and real-user Radar monitoring.

Runscope publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, API Monitoring, API Testing, Observability, and Synthetic Monitoring.

Runscope’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, support, engineering blog, pricing, authentication, and 5 more developer resources.
