Key features

API analytics

Track traffic, error and performance metrics for your API, each endpoint and individual API consumers, allowing you to make informed, data-driven engineering and product decisions.

Request logs

Drill down from insights to individual API requests or use powerful search and filters to find specific requests. View correlated application logs and traces for a complete picture of each request, making troubleshooting faster and easier.

Error tracking

Understand which validation rules in your endpoints cause client errors. Capture error details and stack traces for 500 error responses, and have them linked to Sentry issues automatically.

API monitoring & alerts

Get notified immediately if something isn't right using custom alerts, synthetic uptime checks and heartbeat monitoring. Alert notifications can be delivered via email, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Getting started

If you don't have an Apitally account yet, first sign up here. Then create an app in the Apitally dashboard. You'll see detailed setup instructions with code snippets you can copy and paste. These also include your client ID.

See the SDK reference for all available configuration options, including how to mask sensitive data, customize request logging, and more.

FastAPI

Install the SDK with the fastapi extra:

pip install "apitally[fastapi]"

Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from apitally.fastapi import ApitallyMiddleware

app = FastAPI()
app.add_middleware(
    ApitallyMiddleware,
    client_id="your-client-id",
    env="dev",  # or "prod" etc.
)

For further instructions, see our setup guide for FastAPI.

Django

Install the SDK with the django_rest_framework or django_ninja extra:

pip install "apitally[django_rest_framework]"
# or
pip install "apitally[django_ninja]"

Then add the Apitally middleware to your Django settings:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "apitally.django.ApitallyMiddleware",
    # Other middleware ...
]
APITALLY_MIDDLEWARE = {
    "client_id": "your-client-id",
    "env": "dev",  # or "prod" etc.
}

For further instructions, see our setup guide for Django.

Flask

Install the SDK with the flask extra:

pip install "apitally[flask]"

Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:

from flask import Flask
from apitally.flask import ApitallyMiddleware

app = Flask(__name__)
app.wsgi_app = ApitallyMiddleware(
    app,
    client_id="your-client-id",
    env="dev",  # or "prod" etc.
)

For further instructions, see our setup guide for Flask.

Starlette

Install the SDK with the starlette extra:

pip install "apitally[starlette]"

Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:

from starlette.applications import Starlette
from apitally.starlette import ApitallyMiddleware

app = Starlette(routes=[...])
app.add_middleware(
    ApitallyMiddleware,
    client_id="your-client-id",
    env="dev",  # or "prod" etc.
)

For further instructions, see our setup guide for Starlette.

Litestar

Install the SDK with the litestar extra:

pip install "apitally[litestar]"

Then add the Apitally plugin to your application:

from litestar import Litestar
from apitally.litestar import ApitallyPlugin

app = Litestar(
    route_handlers=[...],
    plugins=[
        ApitallyPlugin(
            client_id="your-client-id",
            env="dev",  # or "prod" etc.
        ),
    ]
)

For further instructions, see our setup guide for Litestar.

BlackSheep

Install the SDK with the blacksheep extra:

pip install "apitally[blacksheep]"
