ReadMe

Developer-documentation platform whose Metrics feature turns API-key-tagged traffic into per-developer usage, error, and endpoint dashboards.

Visit ReadMe Alternatives

ReadMe is primarily an interactive API documentation platform, but its Metrics module doubles as lightweight API analytics: once requests are tagged with an API key via a logging integration, ReadMe aggregates them into dashboards showing total API calls, error rates, response times, and the most-used and most-failing endpoints, broken down to the individual developer or account level. Because it is tied to the same API keys documentation visitors use, it is positioned for developer-relations and support teams who want to see which external developers are integrating successfully versus getting stuck, rather than for internal SRE-style monitoring. Metrics ships as a built-in capability across ReadMe's tiers, with export and aggregation depth increasing on paid plans. ReadMe also offers an AI Writer, an interactive API explorer generated from OpenAPI specs, and an MCP server for AI-assisted doc updates.
