Continuous API monitoring
Stripe, OpenAI, GitHub, Cloudflare and more. When a provider changes its API, you know about it.
Know when an API you depend on breaks your code.
Driftwatch monitors the third-party APIs your product depends on and alerts you to the changes that break your code.
Breaking
Vercel,
Vercel, Response field v0 removed
Reads of this field return undefined, and the failure surfaces wherever that value is used rather than at the call.
4 places: Drive.v0, NamedSandbox.v0, Session.v0, Snapshot.v0
Code that breaks
// response.v0 is now undefined const v0 = response.v0;
APIs Driftwatch watches
Stay ahead of the APIs you depend on
Know what changed, what it breaks, and how to fix it.
The code that breaks
Every alert shows the code that fails, so your team knows where to look.
switch (payment.status) {
case "succeeded": …
case "failed": …
// "requires_review"
// has no branch
}Fixes as pull requests
The GitHub App opens a pull request with the fix, ready for your review.
Read from your side
Changes are judged by their effect on your code, not on the provider’s.
Consistent and transparent
Every change is classified by published rules, so the same change always gets the same verdict.
Wherever you read
Follow every API, or only the ones you use, by RSS or JSON feed.
Other tools check your API. Driftwatch checks theirs.
Some changes a provider considers safe are exactly the ones that break the code calling it. Driftwatch catches them.
What their changelog says
A response field becomes optional
Safe for them: every response they send is still valid.
What your code sees
A null dereference waiting to happen
Code that reads the field without a check throws on every response that leaves it out.
const { city } = customer.address;
// TypeError: Cannot destructure property 'city'
// of 'customer.address' as it is undefined.From an API change to a pull request
A real Plaid change, end to end.
The API changes
Plaid renames a field in its API.
