We’re excited to announce the Open Beta of the Vitals API, giving you programmatic access to the Vitals data you already know from the App Health Insights Dashboard, now delivered via an API.
What’s Launching
The Vitals API exposes your app’s core health signals through a RESTful interface:
- Crash Rate: Application crashes
- ANR Rate: App Not Responding events
- LMK Rate: Low Memory Kill events
This is the same data currently available in the App Health Insights Dashboard, no new data is being exposed. The only change is in the delivery mechanism: API instead of UI. This means you can now access and integrate the data directly into your reporting workflows, run your own analysis, trigger specific actions, and track these metrics programmatically.
Why This Matters
Dashboard views are great for spot-checking, but they don’t scale when you need to act fast. The Vitals API unlocks capabilities that a UI simply can’t offer:
- Automated alerting: trigger notifications the moment crash rates spike, without manually refreshing a dashboard
- Hourly regression detection: with T-2 hours data freshness, catch regressions within hours of a bad deploy rather than days
- Granular debugging: slice metrics by app version, region, and device type to pinpoint exactly where issues are occurring
- CI/CD integration: build stability gates directly into your release pipeline
Getting Started
