# ThirdWatch - API Monitoring Platform

> ThirdWatch is a next-generation API monitoring platform that helps development teams track uptime, response times, and incidents across all their services.

## What ThirdWatch Does

ThirdWatch monitors HTTP/HTTPS API endpoints at configurable intervals and alerts teams when services go down, become slow, or return unexpected responses. It supports automatic authentication (OAuth2, JWT, API keys) for monitoring protected endpoints, and can import APIs from Swagger/OpenAPI specifications.

## Key Features

- **API Health Checks**: Monitor any HTTP/HTTPS endpoint with configurable intervals (30s to 24h), custom headers, request bodies, and expected response validation.
- **Automatic Authentication**: Built-in support for OAuth2 client credentials, password grant, API key, bearer token, and custom login flows. Tokens are automatically refreshed before expiration.
- **Swagger/OpenAPI Import**: Upload a Swagger or OpenAPI spec to automatically create monitors for all your endpoints.
- **Multi-Channel Alerts**: Get notified via Discord, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or custom webhooks when monitors fail. Configurable cooldown periods and severity levels.
- **API Scenarios**: Chain multiple API calls together with variable extraction between steps and assertions. Test complex workflows end-to-end.
- **Real-Time Dashboard**: Response time charts with hybrid scale visualization, uptime percentage tracking, and incident timeline.
- **Incident Management**: Automatic incident creation on failures with severity levels (critical, high, medium, low), acknowledgment workflow, and resolution tracking.
- **Team Collaboration**: Multi-organization support with role-based access control (Owner, Admin, Editor, Viewer). Invite team members via email.
- **Billing**: Stripe integration with trial period, three plans (Starter, Pro, Enterprise), and usage-based limits.
