Frequently asked questions

What can APIDrift monitor?

APIDrift monitors 26+ APIs, SDKs, and libraries across 7 categories including payments (Stripe, Square), communications (Twilio, Sendgrid), AI/ML (OpenAI, Anthropic), and developer infrastructure (Prisma, Supabase, Vercel). It checks every source daily using 4 scraper types: HTML changelog pages, GitHub Releases, RSS/Atom feeds, and Markdown documentation files. On Pro and Team plans, you can add custom sources beyond the pre-configured catalog.

How does the AI classification work?

APIDrift runs a multi-model AI pipeline that analyzes each detected change and classifies it into one of 7 types: breaking, deprecation, new feature, bug fix, security, performance, or informational. Each change also receives one of 3 severity levels (critical, warning, or info) plus a plain-English impact summary. The system uses Gemini 2.5 Flash as the primary model with automatic fallback routing, and includes a keyword-based fallback classifier to ensure every change gets categorized even if the AI model is unavailable.

What are migration guides?

When APIDrift detects a breaking change or deprecation, it runs a two-stage AI pipeline to generate step-by-step migration instructions. The first stage analyzes the change in context, and the second generates actionable guidance including what changed, why it matters, and code-level instructions for updating your integration. Migration guides are processed automatically in the background and are typically ready within minutes of detection. Available on Pro ($12/mo) and Team ($35/mo) plans.

What integrations does APIDrift support?

APIDrift delivers alerts through 4 channels: email digests with AI-prioritized summaries (all plans), Slack notifications to any channel (Pro and Team), outbound webhooks with retry logic for custom integrations (Pro and Team), and a deprecation calendar with iCal export that syncs directly to Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar (Pro and Team). Email digests use relevance scoring based on severity, classification type, and your feedback history to surface the most important changes first.

How often does APIDrift check for changes?

APIDrift scrapes all configured sources once per day across all 4 source types: HTML changelogs, GitHub Releases, RSS/Atom feeds, and Markdown docs. Each scrape run is tracked with health monitoring, and the system processes up to 5 sources concurrently. When a change is detected, AI classifies it into one of 7 categories with 3 severity levels and queues it for your next digest. Free plans receive a weekly digest, while Pro and Team plans receive daily digests. Breaking changes and critical deprecations are always surfaced first.

Is my data safe?

APIDrift uses GitHub or Google OAuth for sign-in with JWT-based sessions, so we never store or see your password. All data is stored in a Supabase Postgres database with row-level security. The application runs on Vercel with Cloudflare DNS and strict security headers. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from the settings page.

Can I switch plans at any time?

Yes. APIDrift offers 3 tiers: Free (3 APIs, weekly digest, 30-day history), Pro at $12/month (20 APIs, daily digest, 90-day history, Slack and webhook alerts, migration guides, deprecation calendar), and Team at $35/month (unlimited APIs, 1-year history, up to 5 team members). Annual billing saves approximately 17%. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your current billing period. No lock-in, no questions asked.
