Getting Started

Get started with scripted APIs by creating a monitor to test the availability and functionality of your APIs in different locations. Scripted APIs allow you to monitor your APIs by writing scripts that simulate API requests and responses. node-fetch is the underlying technology that powers these monitors.

  • Go to console.boltic.io > Monitor

    Select Monitor

  • Click Create monitor.

  • Select the Scripted API tile to test the availability and functionality of your site in different locations.

    Select Scripted API

  • Configure the monitor. Fill in the fields you want. Add a name for your monitor.

    Fill Details

  • Click Next to select the location you want to test the monitor.

    Select Locations

  • Click Next to select the location you want to test the monitor.

    Select Locations

  • Click Next to add your script describing the actions you want the monitor to take. The monitor pre-fills the editor with an example script you can work from, or you can remove this and start from scratch.

    Write Script

  • Click Validate if you want to test your script. This may take a few minutes depending on the script.
