Ekara’s API Monitoring Tool
The Power of PostmanTM for Your APIs
Ekara API Monitoring helps you continuously track the health of your APIs and web services, all from a platform your DevOps teams already know and love: PostmanTM.
Why Is Our API Monitoring Built on PostmanTM?
We’ve chosen to build Ekara API Monitoring on PostmanTM because it’s the industry standard for API testing. With over 11 million users worldwide, PostmanTM is a proven and technologically advanced platform.
This strategic choice gives you significant advantages:
- No New Language to Learn: Your teams can continue using the familiar PostmanTM interface and collections. There’s no need to learn a new scripting language or complex tool.
- Seamless Integration: Ekara’s monitoring robots natively run your existing PostmanTM collections, turning your manual API tests into a powerful, automated monitoring system.
- Easy Migration: If you’re currently using SoapUI, you can easily convert your collections to the PostmanTM format and get started with Ekara API Monitoring right away.
How Ekara API Monitoring Works Securely
Ekara API Monitoring uses a small, secure component called Newman, which is embedded within the solution. Newman enables Ekara robots to replay your PostmanTM collections, continuously checking for any issues with your web services.
This component is fully maintained and supported by Ekara, and it’s integrated into our robust security and vulnerability detection processes. While you’ll need PostmanTM software to create and edit your collections, the core of Ekara’s monitoring is built to be a simple, secure, and powerful extension of your existing workflow.

With Ekara API Monitoring, you can stop worrying about API downtime. Our solution helps you:
- Ensure Uptime: Get real-time alerts on the availability of your web services.

By combining the power of PostmanTM with Ekara’s robust monitoring capabilities, you get a solution that is both effective and easy to adopt.
