It’s Monday, 08:12.
Your inbox says: “API usage reached 85% of your daily limit.”
On Saturday.
Nobody was supposed to be working. You open Salesforce to piece it together and hit a wall. The standard logs show only the last day. Saturday has already fallen off the edge. No reply. No trail. Just an alert and a blank space where the story should be.
Slack pings. It’s your CEO: “Saw the 85% alert. What happened?”
That moment—between a credible signal and a clear explanation—is where risk, cost, and stress live.
The problem, plainly
We’ve all seen the headlines about security breaches around Salesforce. The list of affected companies is long: adidas, Cartier, Google, Christian Dior Couture, CHANEL, Tiffany & Co., Qantas, Air France, Allianz Life, Cisco, Pandora, and more. I’m not surprised.
One of the hardest parts is that monitoring API usage is still far more work than it should be. Managing limits, catching calls from deprecated API versions, noticing when “helpful” Chrome extensions keep chatting with your org, and simply keeping an eye on posture. It’s a pain. And when a surge happens on a weekend and the native view has already rolled over, you’re blind exactly when leadership wants answers.
Our answer
That’s why we’ve decided to develop sAPIm — Simple API Monitor for Salesforce.
SAPIM turns your recent Salesforce API usage history into a morning brief with a plot you can follow: what changed, what drifted, where to look first. Below you will see screenshots of anomalies taking shape against your own baseline, with evidence that ties every spike to the who/what/when so follow-ups are quick. And because you can pivot in one place by IP, connected app, user, day, and hour, you get a true 360° view of your org’s API story.
It’s calm, human-speed visibility, so when Monday starts with a Saturday surge, you can say, “here’s exactly what happened,” not “we’re still digging.”

We launched sAPIm on the AppExchange and you can request access to the pilot program here!
If you want this kind of Monday-morning clarity, and a say in what we ship next, let’s talk.
