API smoke testing

Check API and backend launch risk before the release is live

Uptraq checks public API, webhook, heartbeat, and mobile backend targets so teams can verify backend readiness before a launch, H5/WebView release, or client handoff.

What Uptraq checks

Release readiness with inspectable evidence

These pages are focused on the pre-launch workflow. Monitoring stays available after release, but the first job is to find launch blockers early.

API launch targets

The backend surfaces that break launches are usually public or integration-facing. Add them as project targets so they can be checked and monitored together.

Public health endpoints and API gateway URLs
Checkout, billing, and webhook callback endpoints
Heartbeat URLs for cron and background jobs
Mobile backend, mini app, and H5/WebView URLs

What the checker verifies

Uptraq focuses on deterministic HTTP evidence that can be inspected and rechecked.

Status code and response time
Expected response content or keyword checks on paid plans
HTTPS and SSL certificate state
Redirect behavior and security header warnings

What it does not claim

API smoke testing is not the same as native mobile UI testing or private internal test automation.

No native iOS or Android UI automation
No automatic code repair or pull request generation
No pass/fail decisions made by AI
No checks against private network targets blocked by SSRF protection
Workflow

From launch target to post-launch watch

01

Create an API or mobile backend project

Choose the product type that matches the backend you are launching.

02

Add public targets

Attach health, webhook, heartbeat, checkout, and H5/WebView URLs.

03

Run launch checks

Review blockers, warnings, response times, and content findings.

04

Keep coverage active

Use Launch Watch when the release goes live.

Plan fit

Use pre-launch checks without forcing monitoring-first adoption

Some customers only need launch checks. Some only need monitors. Paid LaunchOps plans connect both workflows when a product needs the full loop.

Free
Good for one public API or website target check per month.
Solo
Good for one small backend release workflow.
Pro
Good for repeated API releases, keyword checks, and full repair prompts.
Agency
Good for client backend launches and higher monitor capacity.
FAQ

Common questions

Can Uptraq test authenticated APIs?

Use public health endpoints or endpoints that can be safely checked with configured HTTP request settings. Do not expose secrets or private network targets.

Is this useful for mobile apps?

Yes for backend/API/H5/WebView readiness. It does not perform native device UI automation.

Can API targets become monitors?

Yes. Launch Watch can create linked monitors from launch targets within your plan limits.
