JSON path matching

Overview

JSON path matching allows you to validate API response content beyond just status codes. You can verify that specific fields contain expected values.

Enabling JSON matching

1. Create or edit an HTTP monitor
2. In advanced settings, enable Response body validation
3. Enter the JSON path expression
4. Enter the expected value
5. Save the monitor

JSON path syntax

JSON path uses dot notation to navigate JSON structures:

// Example API response
{
  "status": "healthy",
  "data": {
    "version": "2.1.0",
    "services": ["api", "database"]
  }
}
