Respect Monitoring is an OpenAPI-aware API monitoring solution developed by Redocly, designed to ensure APIs behave as expected by validating status codes, content types, and response schemas against OpenAPI definitions. Unlike traditional monitoring tools that focus solely on uptime, Respect provides automated, zero-configuration checks and real-time alerts through platforms like Slack and email to notify users of issues immediately. It also offers graphical reporting to track API health and integrates with CI/CD pipelines to prevent breaking changes before they reach production. Respect Monitoring operates on a usage-based pricing model with an optional minimum commitment to reduce costs per request, offering 1,000 free requests per month to get users started without a commitment.
