Monitoring

Change Activity

Track change volume across your monitored APIs over time.

Overview

The change activity chart shows how often your APIs are changing, broken down by severity. It appears on both the dashboard (across all your APIs) and on each API detail page (for that specific API).

What it shows

Three lines represent the daily change volume by severity:

  • Critical (red) — breaking changes that require code updates
  • Warning (amber) — deprecations and non-breaking but notable changes
  • Info (blue) — new features, cosmetic updates, documentation changes

Time periods

The period picker adjusts the time window. Available periods depend on your plan:

PlanAvailable periods
Hobby7 days
Pro7 days, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months

How to use it

  • Flat lines mean the API is stable. Low risk.
  • Spikes in critical/warning mean the API is actively changing. Review the change history below the chart for details.
  • Consistent high volume across all severities suggests a volatile API. Check the health score for a summary assessment.

Where to find it

  • Dashboard — shows aggregated change activity across all your monitored APIs
  • API detail page — click any API from the dashboard to see its individual change activity
