APIContext is a software company based in the US and UK that provides Synthetic monitoring for APIs.[1]
Independent industry analysis
[edit]The company publishes research on API performance and security based on its platform's data. Recent reports have covered topics such as API specification drift (where they found 75% of APIs differ from their specifications), and the performance of cloud service providers (where they found substantially slower performance from Microsoft Azure).[2][3]
Impact on financial industry regulations
[edit]In the US, the company's research on API drift was cited by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in its final rule 1033 on personal financial data rights. The rule requires banks to provide open access to financial APIs, and the company's research was used to confirm that it is technically reasonable and cost-effective for financial institutions to publish performance and reliability data of their APIs.[4]
Industry recognition
[edit]APIContext was identified in the 2024 and 2025 Gartner Hype Cycle for APIs report as a Sample Vendor in API testing services and API monitoring.[5][6]
It's executives also publicly discuss how to improve API security and data privacy with monitoring, including building trust in third party suppliers, and detecting compromised APIs.[7][8]
