Live traffic: who calls your APIs?

4 steps± 3 minVideoVerified 22 Oct 2026
  1. Step 1 · Open your development environment
  2. Step 2 · Call the endpoint without a key
  3. Step 3 · Call it with the key
  4. Step 4 · Open Live traffic

Under Live traffic you see every call to your APIs as it comes in: which endpoint, which status code, how long it took and with which key. That way you see at once whether a consumer gets through, or keeps being refused.

Step 1 / 4

Open your development environment

In the portal, under Environments, click Development, and there Open. Flow opens in a new tab and you are signed in straight away.

Step 2 / 4

Call the endpoint without a key

Open the endpoint and, under Try it on the right, click Send without a key. That is what a consumer who forgot their key does: the API refuses with 401.

  1. Click the endpoint
Call the endpoint without a key · Click the endpoint
  1. Click ▶ Send
Call the endpoint without a key · Click ▶ Send
Call the endpoint without a key · 401: not signed in.
Step 3 / 4

Call it with the key

Now fill in the consumer's key (covered up in this guide) and send again. This time the workflow's answer comes back.

Step 4 / 4

Open Live traffic

Click Runs in the bar on the left and choose Live traffic. Every call is there, the newest at the top: the time, the endpoint, the status code, how long it took, and the key it was called with (only its beginning). The list refreshes itself every few seconds.

  1. Click Runs
Open Live traffic · Click Runs
  1. Click Live traffic
Open Live traffic · Click Live traffic
Open Live traffic · The successful call: 200, with the key and the sign-in method api_key.
Open Live traffic · The refused call: 401, without a key.
