API Check Locations

Why Run API Checks from Multiple Locations?

Running API checks from multiple locations is crucial for understanding how your API performs globally. It helps you identify response time degradation from different locations due to latency and ensures that your API is performing optimally for users around the world.

How to Configure Locations for API Checks

You can set the API Check to run from one or many locations. If the check fails in one location, the whole check is marked as failed. This ensures that you are promptly informed about any issues, regardless of where they occur.

Recommended Practice

It is recommended to run an API check from at least two locations to gain better insights into the latency and performance of your application from different geographical regions.

Available Locations

Pick two or more locations for better latency insights of your application. This API Check will run from the selected locations.

API Check Locations

Benefits of Multiple Locations

  • Latency Insights: Understand how latency affects your API's performance from different parts of the world.
  • Global Performance: Ensure that your API provides a consistent experience for users globally.
  • Issue Detection: Quickly identify and resolve issues that may only occur in specific regions.

By configuring your API checks to run from multiple locations, you can ensure that your API is reliable and performs well for all your users, no matter where they are located.
