API monitoring made easy.

Apitally is a simple and affordable API monitoring tool with a focus on data privacy.
It is super easy to use for API projects in Python or Node.js and never collects sensitive data.

🔗 apitally.io

This client library for Apitally currently supports the following Node.js web frameworks:

• Express
• NestJS (with Express)
• Fastify
• Koa

Learn more about Apitally on our 🌎 website or check out the 📚 documentation.

• Middleware/plugins for different frameworks to capture metadata about API endpoints, requests and responses (no sensitive data is captured)
• Non-blocking client that aggregates and sends captured data to Apitally in regular intervals

You can install this library in your project using npm or yarn:

npm install apitally

or

yarn add apitally

Our comprehensive setup guides include all the details you need to get started.

This is an example of how to use the Apitally middleware with an Express application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for Express.

const express = require("express");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/express");

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

useApitally(app, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

This is an example of how to use the Apitally middleware with a NestJS application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for NestJS.

Note: Currently only NestJS applications that use Express as the underlying HTTP server are supported (the default).

const { NestFactory } = require("@nestjs/core");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/nestjs");
const { AppModule } = require("./app.module");

const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
const expressInstance = app.getHttpAdapter().getInstance();

useApitally(expressInstance, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

This is an example of how to register the Apitally plugin with a Fastify application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for Fastify.

The Apitally plugin requires the fastify-plugin package to be installed.

npm install fastify-plugin

const fastify = require("fastify")({ logger: true });
const { apitallyPlugin } = require("apitally/fastify");

fastify.register(apitallyPlugin, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});

// Wrap your routes in a plugin, so Apitally can detect them
fastify.register((instance, opts, done) => {
  instance.get("/", (request, reply) => {
    reply.send("hello");
  });
  done();
});

Note: If your project uses ES modules you can use await fastify.register(...) and don't need to wrap your routes in a plugin. See the Fastify V4 migration guide for more details.

This is an example of how to use the Apitally middleware with a Koa application. For further instructions, see our setup guide for Koa.

const Koa = require("koa");
const { useApitally } = require("apitally/koa");

const app = new Koa();

useApitally(app, {
  clientId: "your-client-id",
  env: "dev", // or "prod" etc.
});
