Moesif: API Analytics for Business Value

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

Moesif delivers comprehensive API analytics that help organizations understand and improve the business value of their APIs. 

Moesif’s analytics track website usage as well as API invocations, providing an end to end view of API usage. Moesif tracks how easy it is to sign up for an API, how long it takes to get started using the API, and graphically illustrates the journey.  

You get all the data about how easy it is to start using an API, when the API starts being used in production, and whether there are any problems with the API. 

It’s like bringing B2B style analytics to APIs: measuring engagement with the API as if it were an application or product (which some are, of course), and gathering and presenting the information you need to improve uptake of your APIs and increase revenue or return on investment. 

Moesif sends alerts when things aren’t going well, identify users having issues with APIs, create cohorts of related users and automatically send emails to them when they exceed their limits or are about to. 

Moesif creates meters for tracking different analytics and for different approaches to invoicing such as prepaid bulk usage or per-invocation charges. Guardrails for governance over usage and quota management limits are also available. 

Overall Moesif stands out by its focus on providing information useful to the business sponsors for an API, not only for API developers. It’s not just about recording traffic and counting invocations – it’s about capturing and presenting data in a way that helps a business measure and improve the value it gets from its API investments.
