API Activity
The API activity page gives you a high-level view of API traffic in your infrastructure. It provides
information about the Total number of calls in the selected period, the number of internal or
external calls, Live requests, Top API Endpoints, and a live map that displays where requests
originate. The API activity page also summarizes the recent changes made to the APIs.
Choose the Environment and period for which you wish data to be displayed.
Live requests
Live requests are among the most valuable data in API activity. Traceable displays live
requests for your chosen Environment along with their IP addresses. The live requests are a
combination of internal and external calls. Monitoring live requests provides real-time
information about what resources are accessed by APIs.
Top Endpoints
Traceable lists the Top Endpoints based on the number of calls/minute during the selected
period. Click on the API Endpoint name to view more details about the API. As the screenshot
below shows, you can view all the IP addresses that accessed the API Endpoint, along with
the URL and status code. Click on the plus (+) sign for more information about the request.
You can also view the protocol, for example, GRPC or HTTP, with the total number of calls in
the selected time duration. Hovering the mouse over the graph displays the number of calls
during a minute, as shown below.

The External Calls widget shows the number of calls originating from a specific
geographical location and the city's name. If you see more calls from a geographic area, you
may want to investigate. When you click on a particular geographic location, Traceable
displays detailed traces from that place. This is another actionable forensic information
provided by Traceable to protect your API infrastructure.
Total calls
Traceable provides the total of internal and external calls in the chosen period. The screenshot
below shows the bar graph separately showing the internal and external calls. You can select
the time period for which you wish to view the total number of calls. By default, the number of
calls is shown for 30 minutes, with a maximum of 6 hours. The total calls section also shows
the number of internal and external API calls.
Recent changes
Traceable provides another powerful option to view new and updated APIs in the selected
time range. The screenshot below shows that the recent changes section lists all the latest

and updated APIs. When you hover the mouse over Update , a pop-up window displays the
number of new parameters and the parameters being learned. These parameters are divided
into request and response parameters.
