Welcome to Treblle 3.0: Innovating Today, ShAPIng Tomorrow
Today, we’re proud to launch Treblle 3.0, the most advanced and best version of Treblle. From day one, we’ve been consistently working to make it easy for people to understand what’s happening with their APIs.
The rise of APIs and their importance in the world is continuing to grow. AI APIs doubled in 2023 as there’s an API behind every AI interaction, and all of us at Treblle have been seeing an explosion of APIs first-hand by working closely with our 150,000+ user community and customers.
With this new release, the Treblle API Intelligence Platform focuses on helping organizations' engineering, product, and business teams understand their APIs and make informed API decisions in under 60 seconds. APIs are now everyone’s responsibility.
While developers, architects, and DevOps teams have traditionally been the primary stakeholders, the growing importance of APIs in driving business value requires the understanding and involvement of product managers, QA engineers, business stakeholders, and even C-level executives.
Treblle 3.0 is not just an update; it’s a complete re-imagination of the platform. From a redesigned user experience to a powerful infrastructure overhaul, we’ve spent a year building this with user feedback, requests, and enterprise needs in mind. And now, we’re ready to share the results of this massive effort from our small team spanning three continents and four time zones.
Let’s review the highlights of what we’ve delivered with Treblle 3.0.
Deeper Understanding of your APIs
A Whole New User Experience
This version of Treblle gives you a consistent and great user experience for finding the API information that you need quickly. It offers a richer view of all your API information in one place, the ability to customize API widgets according to preference, a table view of your API requests, quick navigation between APIs and workspaces, and drill-down options across features like endpoints, problems, and requests, among many others.
Value: API Insights and Analytics for decision-making
API Data Points
We’ve increased the number of API-specific data points we capture from 40 to over 120. This includes raw data, endpoints analysis, request-level insights, and API consumer information to give you a complete picture of your API’s performance.
Value: Enhanced Observability, Deeper Insights
API Heartbeat
Our proprietary API Heartbeat model visualizes your APIs' overall and historical health. Available at both the API and Workspace levels, it helps you understand how your APIs perform and where improvements are needed.
Value: Executive-Level Insights, Proactive Monitoring
API Traceability
Introducing a new ability to trace API requests across multiple endpoints via the x-treblle-trace-id
. Quickly determine where issues arise in complex API workflows.
Value: Faster Debugging, Efficiency
Enterprise-Grade Collaboration
Workspaces
Manage your APIs more efficiently with Workspaces—a new concept that allows teams to collaborate across multiple APIs within a single space. Workspaces provide a high-level dashboard view into all APIs your team is working on, helping you organize, collaborate, and discover your entire API landscape.
Value: Efficiency, Collaboration, Transparency
Role-based access control (RBAC)
Gain granular control over APIs and data within a Workspace. With distinct roles like Owners and Members, you can assign access levels to ensure security while allowing collaboration across the right APIs.
Value: Security, Controlled Collaboration
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Implement Single Sign-On for secure and streamlined access to Workspaces. This feature enhances security by reducing the use of personal credentials for company data access.
Value: Security, Reduced Attack Surface
API Catalog
API Owners can curate APIs by category, tag, and description in an internal catalog for better discoverability and collaboration. This feature includes API documentation and related resources, helping internal API consumers access vital information.
Value: Organization, Discovery, Streamlined API Documentation

Beyond responding to issues, Alfred helps prevent them. It can automatically monitor your API performance and send custom alerts when performance dips or anomalies are detected, empowering teams to act swiftly.
Alfred isn’t just about automation—it’s about giving your team the insights they need to manage their APIs more efficiently and effectively. This is AI-powered observability at its best, helping you focus on what really matters: delivering high-quality APIs.
Value: Smarter API Integrations, Faster Debugging, Proactive Insights
Automated Security, Governance, and Compliance across your APIs
Enhanced API Governance
We’ve expanded our Governance feature to run 30+ tests on your APIs, up from 9 in previous versions. The enhanced API score logic provides greater value to executives and stakeholders by offering an immediate overview of your API’s health.
Value: Comprehensive API Quality Insights, Executive Reporting
API Compliance
This is a first-to-market capability that automatically flags API requests containing data falling under the GDPR, PCI, and CCPA frameworks. This feature helps teams quickly identify relevant requests when a data breach is suspected.
Value: Compliance, Rapid Response to Breaches
Custom Alerts
Set custom alerts based on Saved Searches, notifying up to five people via email, in-app alerts, or Slack.
Value: Real-Time Monitoring, Proactive Response
Other Awesome Features
SDK Masking Engine (PHP and Java)
Gain more nuanced control over sensitive data masking within APIs. Select specific objects to block instead of blocking every instance where a keyword appears for more refined privacy control.
Value: Data Privacy, Flexibility
Docs (API Spec Upload)
Now, users can upload their OpenAPI specs and get the API Governance score and documentation without needing to integrate an SDK. They can also publish their API documentation to the Catalog for internal collaboration.
Value: Easier Onboarding, Enhanced Documentation
