Case Study: Edmunds.com achieves reliable API monitoring and faster issue resolution with Runscope

Edmunds.com keeps API uptime on track with Runscope as usage grows 40%

Edmunds.com, a leading car shopping website with a revenue-generating API used by thousands of partners, needed a reliable and scalable way to monitor its API health. Their previous home-grown scripts were insufficient for catching production issues before customers were impacted. They turned to Runscope for automated API monitoring to solve this challenge.

Runscope provided a cloud-based monitoring solution that automated scheduled tests, including complex multi-step validations with OAuth. This allowed Edmunds to detect and fix API failures immediately via automatic notifications, preventing customer impact. Runscope proved its value by catching significant site failures during a critical period, and scaled seamlessly as Edmunds' API usage grew by 40% in two months, ensuring ongoing reliability for their partners.
