API monitoring guide

Single and multi-step API checks with JSONPath assertions, variable extraction, and HAR export.

Last updated August 7, 2026

What can an API check assert?

API checks send custom methods, headers, and bodies, and assert status-code ranges, JSONPath expressions, and JSON Schema validation. Multi-step checks chain requests and extract variables from one response into the next — for example logging in, then calling an authenticated endpoint (paid plans).

Can I import my existing API definitions?

Yes — OpenAPI and Postman collections import directly (paid plans): pick operations and PageLantern creates matching monitors. Every check run can also be exported as a HAR file for debugging.
