Apitally js
Simple API monitoring & analytics for Node.js & Bun apps
API monitoring & analytics made simple Metrics, logs, traces, and alerts for your APIs — with just a few lines of code. The project is written primarily in TypeScript, distributed under the MIT License license, first published in 2023. Key topics include: api, api-analytics, api-logging, api-monitoring, api-observability.
Apitally SDK for Node.js
Apitally is a simple API monitoring and analytics tool that makes it easy to understand API usage, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues.
Get started in minutes by just adding a few lines of code. No infrastructure changes required, no dashboards to build.

the 📚 documentation.
Key features
API analytics
Track traffic, error and performance metrics for your API, each endpoint and
individual API consumers, allowing you to make informed, data-driven engineering
and product decisions.
Request logs
Drill down from insights to individual API requests or use powerful search and filters to
find specific requests. View correlated application logs and traces for a complete picture
of each request, making troubleshooting faster and easier.
Error tracking
Understand which validation rules in your endpoints cause client errors. Capture
error details and stack traces for 500 error responses, and have them linked to
Sentry issues automatically.
API monitoring & alerts
Get notified immediately if something isn't right using custom alerts, synthetic
uptime checks and heartbeat monitoring. Alert notifications can be delivered via
email, Slack and Microsoft Teams.

Getting started
If you don't have an Apitally account yet, first sign up here. Then create an app in the Apitally dashboard. You'll see detailed setup instructions with code snippets you can copy and paste. These also include your client ID.
See the SDK reference for all available configuration options, including how to mask sensitive data, customize request logging, and more.
Express
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:
javascriptconst express = require("express"); const { useApitally } = require("apitally/express"); const app = express(); app.use(express.json()); useApitally(app, { clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. });
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for Express.
Fastify
Install the SDK with the fastify-plugin peer dependency:
bashnpm install apitally fastify-plugin
Then register the Apitally plugin with your application:
javascriptimport Fastify from "fastify"; import { apitallyPlugin } from "apitally/fastify"; const fastify = Fastify({ logger: true }); await fastify.register(apitallyPlugin, { clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. });
Note: If your project uses CommonJS you need to wrap your routes in a plugin, so Apitally can detect them.
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for Fastify.
NestJS
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:
javascriptimport { NestFactory } from "@nestjs/core"; import { useApitally } from "apitally/nestjs"; import { AppModule } from "./app.module"; async function bootstrap() { const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule); await useApitally(app, { clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. }); // ... } bootstrap();
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for NestJS.
AdonisJS
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then use the following Ace command to configure Apitally in your AdonisJS application:
bashnode ace configure apitally/adonisjs
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for AdonisJS.
Hono
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:
javascriptimport { Hono } from "hono"; import { useApitally } from "apitally/hono"; const app = new Hono(); useApitally(app, { clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. });
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for Hono.
H3
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then register the Apitally plugin with your application:
javascriptimport { H3 } from "h3"; import { apitallyPlugin } from "apitally/h3"; const app = new H3({ plugins: [ apitallyPlugin({ clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. }), ], });
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for H3.
Elysia
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then add the Apitally plugin to your application:
javascriptimport { Elysia } from "elysia"; import { apitallyPlugin } from "apitally/elysia"; const app = new Elysia() .use( apitallyPlugin({ clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. }), ) .get("/", () => "hello");
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for Elysia.
Koa
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then add the Apitally middleware to your application:
javascriptconst Koa = require("koa"); const { useApitally } = require("apitally/koa"); const app = new Koa(); useApitally(app, { clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. });
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for Koa.
Hapi
Install the SDK:
bashnpm install apitally
Then register the Apitally plugin with your application:
javascriptconst Hapi = require("@hapi/hapi"); const { apitallyPlugin } = require("apitally/hapi"); const init = async () => { const server = Hapi.server({ port: 3000, host: "localhost", }); await server.register({ plugin: apitallyPlugin({ clientId: "your-client-id", env: "dev", // or "prod" etc. }), }); }; init();
For further instructions, see our
setup guide for Hapi.
