“API is down” — but by the time you check, it’s already fine

This has happened to me more times than I can count.

You get an alert that an API is down.
You open logs, dashboards, traces

and everything looks normal again.

No clear signal of what actually failed.

Pinghawk — Know Why APIs Break - See exactly what happened at the moment your API failed

When your API fails, Pinghawk shows exactly what happened — at the moment it failed. Instead of a generic “API is down” alert, it records DNS, TLS, TTFB, and the response body — so you know why it failed, not just that it failed. It captures multiple snapshots across failures and catches silent issues like cron jobs and SSL expiry. Free during beta — would love your feedback if this solves a real pain for you.
