# API monitoring

> Generate API monitoring for a published project and probe endpoints every 10 minutes, hour, or day to confirm they still respond.

Once a project is published, you can generate **API monitoring** for it: superun calls the endpoints you select on a fixed schedule and confirms the live service still responds, so you don't learn an endpoint is down from user reports.

<Note>
  Monitoring applies to **published** projects only. Demo versions and unpublished projects do not offer API monitoring.
</Note>

## Generate monitoring

1. In your project, go to **Operations** and open API monitoring.
2. superun scans the live version and lists the endpoints that are **safe to probe**.
3. Pick a probe frequency: **10 minutes / hourly / daily**.
4. Start monitoring. Probe results for each endpoint appear in the same place.

A higher frequency surfaces problems sooner, but every probe is a real call. Hourly or daily is enough for routine checks; save 10 minutes for critical endpoints.

## Endpoints that are excluded

So the probe itself cannot affect live data, these endpoints are filtered out automatically and never appear in the selectable list:

* **Endpoints that may modify data**, such as create, update, or delete operations.
* **Endpoints with side effects**, such as sending mail, charging, or notifying external services.
* **Endpoints that require real business parameters**, where no safe probe request can be constructed.

If an endpoint you care about is excluded, it is not suitable for unattended repeated calls. Verify those in a test backend instead — see [Test environment](/superun/integrations/test-environment).

## After you publish a new version

Republishing changes the live endpoints, so an existing monitoring setup may no longer match. After publishing a new version, return to API monitoring and **regenerate the configuration** so monitoring covers the current live version.
