Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What counts as a request (aka step or check)?

A request is any HTTP call you make in your scripts, e.g. the script below sends 2 requests.

GET https://about.skybear.net
HTTP 200

GET https://about.skybear.net/pricing
HTTP 200

Other tools and services might refer to these requests as "API test steps" or "API checks". We only track requests to make it clear that you are not charged on how many assertions you do, or how complex your scripts are; just on the requests you make.

How many requests do I need per month?

It really depends on the complexity of your scripts and tests you want to do. See a few common use-cases below to get an idea of what you might need:

  • 1 script making 4 HTTP calls every 5-minutes: 30*24*12*4 = 34,560 requests per month
  • 10 scripts, each making 2 HTTP calls every 10-minutes: 30*24*6*10*2 = 86,400 requests per month
  • 20 scripts, each making 5 HTTP calls, ran 1000 times per month (e.g. as validation for each of your deployments): 20*5*1000 = 100,000 requests per month
We are counting the requests made across all your scripts, so each of your scripts can do whatever it needs to do without worrying about limits. Redirects during a request are not charged extra.

What is a scheduled run?

A “run” is one execution of your scripts, so think of “run” as synonymous for execution, invocation, etc.

A scheduled run is when you configure your scripts to run periodically, e.g. every 5 minutes, every Monday at 09:00.

What is a script trigger?

A script can have several triggers configured. Examples of triggers we currently support are “scheduled runs” and “HTTP hooks”.

A scheduled run is when you configure your scripts to run periodically, e.g. every 5 minutes, every Monday at 09:00.

An HTTP hook trigger is when you configure your scripts to be invocable over a public HTTP URL, super useful when you want to trigger a run of your scripts from your own CI.

In the future we plan to support more types of triggers, e.g. email triggers.

What can I do with Skybear.NET scripts?

Skybear.NET scripts support the full Hurl plain text syntax, and therefore enables you to write multi-step tests and workflows, with multiple and exhaustive assertions for the HTTP response headers and body.

This means you can write extensive Synthetics tests ensuring all your important API use-cases are working correctly. Each script can have hundreds of requests (steps), and can chain requests together, i.e. extracting and capturing data from a response and passing it to subsequent requests.

You can also use Skybear.NET scripts for adhoc HTTP workflow automation, e.g. orchestrating tens or hundreds of HTTP calls, that you run manually or configure to run periodically.

Is Skybear.NET yet another uptime checker?

Nope! Skybear.NET can do uptime checks, but it’s a lot more than just an uptime checker.

Skybear.NET enables you to write multi-step tests and workflows, with multiple and exhaustive assertions for the HTTP response headers and body. Even though you can use Skybear.NET scripts just as uptime checkers, you are limiting yourself if you only do that.

Frankly, if you just want a simple uptime checker you will be better off with a dedicated uptime tool that lacks functionality but is cheaper. Email us and we can suggest such tool if needed.

Keep this in mind when comparing multiple tools, especially in terms of pricing, since traditional uptime checkers might be cheaper, but they are also extremely more limited.

What do the soft limits mean?

Some of our features are capped right now to avoid excessive abuse on our platform from misaligned users. Soft limits can be raised upon request.

Is there a free trial?

Every signed-in account has a free quota to use every month, but certain features are rate-limited. These limits are subject to change without notice, and therefore you should not depend on the free quotas for anything important.

We provide the FREE tier to let you try the platform and write your first scripts without having to pay anything up-front. We don’t want your money until you feel comfortable with our platform.

Do you offer refunds?

If you’re unhappy with your purchase for any reason, email support@skybear.net within 15 days of the purchase date and we will refund you in full, no questions asked.

Can I use this for commercial purposes?

Absolutely. As long as you are a paying customer of any of our plans, use it as you wish. For hobbies, for side-projects, for your side-hustle, and even for your multi-million dollar business.

Do unused requests roll over into the next month?

No. If by the end of a billing period you have used less requests than what’s included in your plan, the unused requests do not roll over to the next billing period.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Absolutely! You can upgrade your plan anytime in your account billing plan page.

To downgrade your plan please contact us at support@skybear.net.

Do you offer higher-volume or Enterprise plans?

We will soon. Contact us at support@skybear.net with your needs and we will help you out with a custom plan.
