Endpoint patterns
See how Measure groups similar request URLs into endpoint patterns, when a new endpoint shows up, and how to search for one on the dashboard.
Measure groups many similar request URLs into one endpoint pattern. Requests to /api/users/123/profile and /api/users/456/profile roll up into /api/users/*/profile. You can view combined latency, error rate, and volume for that endpoint. This happens automatically.
How a URL becomes a pattern
Measure wildcards the parts of a path that change from request to request. A segment gets replaced with * in one of two ways.
Known dynamic formats
Measure matches each segment against the formats that dynamic values usually take, and replaces a match with *. A segment is replaced when it's:
- A UUID (e.g.
550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000). - A SHA-1 or MD5 hash.
- An ISO 8601 date-time, the
2024-01-15T...form. - A
0x-prefixed hex value (e.g.0x1a2b3c). - Any segment with two or more digits in a row. Single-digit segments like
v1are kept.
So /api/users/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000/orders/12345 becomes /api/users/*/orders/*.
High-cardinality segments
Some changing segments don't match any known format, like a product slug or a username. Measure tracks how many distinct values appear at each position in a path. Once a position collects many distinct values (more than 10), Measure collapses it to * too. So /api/products/aluminium, /api/products/copper, and dozens more roll up into /api/products/*.
A pattern appears once its endpoint gets more than 50 requests in an hour.
A brand-new or low-traffic endpoint won't show up in Network Monitoring right away.
Searching for endpoints
Find a specific endpoint on the dashboard with the Explore endpoint search bar. Type an exact path, or use wildcards to match several at once. * matches a single segment, the same wildcard you see in patterns. ** matches everything after a prefix, so it only works at the end.
| Pattern | Matches |
|---|---|
/v1/login | Only the exact path /v1/login. |
/users/*/orders | Any single segment in place of *, like /users/123/orders or /users/abc/orders. |
/api/v1/** | Everything after the prefix, like /api/v1/login or /api/v1/users/123/profile. |
/api/*/users/** | Both wildcards together, like /api/v2/users/123/orders/456. |
Request timeline
The request timeline is a heatmap of when requests happen relative to session start. It shows the top endpoint patterns ranked by request frequency, and helps answer questions like "which APIs fire on app launch?" and "is anything called repeatedly in the background?"
Requires SDK version 0.16.2 on Android and 0.9.2 on iOS.
