Re: Stepping Back From API Evangelist

John Sheehan — Tue, 12 Mar 2019 16:14:49 -0000

Just came across this...thanks for everything Kin. You were a constant advocate for what was good and right in APIs and a steadying force in ridiculous industry. Best of luck in the new role!

Controlling the Yi from the app would be a lot more palatable if WiFi wasn’t the only way to connect to it. Having to drop your other WiFi connection to connect to the camera’s is a big issue.

Thanks Kin! Your impressions of CA echo a lot of what we saw that made us comfortable with joining forces. Big things ahead!

Re: Making Sure Your API Service Connects To Other Stops Along The API Lifecycle

John Sheehan — Wed, 02 Aug 2017 13:20:49 -0000

We also support additional services via imports from SoapUI, Postman, Swagger, AWS API Gateway, HAR, etc. completing the loop on the front-end of the lifecycle.

You should try Runscope, built for exactly this. We have a DataDog integration as well.

Re: As An API Service Provider, Should I Craft My Own API Definition Format, Or Just Reuse What Is Already Available

John Sheehan — Wed, 17 Feb 2016 17:50:13 -0000

We don't see our serialization output as a 'format' or definition in the same vein as RAML, OAS or API Blueprint. Formats come with specs, tooling ecosystems, etc. The JSON export files and API resources are just representations of tests for portability solely within our own tools and don't attempt to be anything other than that.

Re: Pillars of the Rails Monitoring Stack: 2016 Edition

John Sheehan — Wed, 02 Dec 2015 14:07:48 -0000

An OSS project that does some of what Pingdom does: http://keen.github.io/pingp...

Also, API monitoring is an increasingly popular addition to this stack of tools. API monitoring goes beyond just shallow pings, verifying the data (structure, content) and functionality (workflows, auth) of an API as well. I'm biased, but I recommend Runscope for this :) https://www.runscope.com/do...

If you want Pingdom that understands JSON/XML/APIs better, we're good at that too (and have many customers who have converted, including https://rubygems.org/).

Re: You Need a Status Page

John Sheehan — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 16:09:06 -0000

Thanks for the shout out Donn!

I also recommend that people post metrics to their pages so that people can see if slowness is systemic even before someone posts an update on issues. We'll be adding this soon to our page. We have a handy way for Runscope customers to do this with StatusPage.io: https://www.runscope.com/do...

Can you send us more details to help@runscope.com? We'll look into it right away. Thanks!

Re: Create Runscope Tests Instantly with New Import Test Feature: Support for Swagger, Postman Collection and HAR Files

John Sheehan — Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:37:19 -0000

There is not. There would be a lot of information that wouldn't transfer over since Swagger doesn't support any testing semantics. How would you like it to work?

Thanks for the feedback. We definitely hear you on this. We're working on ways to make managing a lot of tests easier, and some of those improvements will be arriving very soon.

Thanks for using Runscope!
