API Lens Alpha Is Live

This is the first public alpha release of API Lens. API Lens helps engineering teams monitor API traffic, inspect payload-level behavior, and move from raw request data to action quickly.

​
What You Can Do Today

  • onboard an app and generate framework-specific setup snippets
  • ingest API traffic without manually pre-creating endpoints
  • monitor endpoint activity with time filters, search, sort, and pagination
  • inspect request logs with payload and response visibility controls
  • use passwordless-first authentication with optional password setup after login
  • browse live OpenAPI reference in docs from https://api.apilens.ai/api/v1/openapi.json

​
Platform Foundations in This Alpha

  • multi-tenant backend guardrails across app-scoped APIs
  • ClickHouse-backed analytics tables and migration flow
  • PostgreSQL-backed app, auth, and product state
  • deploy-time schema bootstrapping for relational and analytics storage

​
Who This Alpha Is For

  • teams validating API observability workflows before broader rollout
  • developers integrating API Lens from FastAPI, Django/Ninja, and Flask projects
  • engineering orgs wanting a clean, minimal UI with practical operational signals

​
What Comes Next

  • deeper endpoint detail workflows for payload and consumer analysis
  • expanded framework setup flows and SDK ergonomics
  • iterative UI hardening based on alpha usage patterns
If you are evaluating API Lens for your team, this alpha is the right starting point.
