Apitally - Simple API monitoring and analytics for Django

[itssimon]

Hey Django community,

I’d like to introduce you to my indie product Apitally, a simple API monitoring and analytics tool for Django.

Apitally's key features are:

• Metrics & insights into API usage, errors and performance, for the whole API, each endpoint and individual API consumers.
• Request logs allow users to find and inspect individual API requests and responses.
• Application logs are captured and automatically correlated with API requests.
• Uptime monitoring & alerting notifies users of API problems the moment they happen, whether it's downtime, traffic spikes, errors or performance issues.

The Apitally SDK integrates with Django apps through a lightweight middleware, which captures metrics and logs for all API requests and asynchronously sends them to Apitally’s servers in regular intervals.

Setup is super easy – you just add a few lines of code to your settings. No infrastructure required.

MIDDLEWARE = [
    "apitally.django.ApitallyMiddleware",
    # Other middleware ...
]
APITALLY_MIDDLEWARE = {
    "client_id": "your-client-id",
    "env": "dev",  # or "prod" etc.
}

Here's a screenshot of the Apitally dashboard:

If you'd like to try it out, there's a setup guide for Django Ninja.

Please let me know what you think!
