Ask HN: Do you monitor your REST APIs?

I have a lot of APIs for different apps that I've built for customers.

And most of the time it is when the customer calls me I get to know that the API is down!

Maybe after some data changes, or some random code changes.

I'm now having nightmares about API services going down.

Do you continuously monitor your APIs and get notified when something goes down? (It's not just like monitoring a website using Pingdom, but the actual data responses, like for example check if a particular JSON field exists in the response)
