Metlo is an open-source API security tool that provides real-time protection against malicious attacks. It automatically discovers and inventories API endpoints, detects threats like SQL injection and XSS attacks with minimal false positives, and blocks malicious traffic in real time. The tool integrates with various programming languages and platforms, can be deployed in under 15 minutes, and processes traffic with less than 0.2ms latency increase while using minimal system resources.

This is a joke.
Free version doesn’t have Attacks, Detections, Traces available. You can only check what endpoints were used.
If you want actually those options, you need to sign up to Beta, which you can’t turn on manually. How can we test the app which main use is to detects attacks, when we can’t see those attacks by default?
Don’t get me wrong - I know I can reach to them for Beta. But seeing “Start for Free” and no Pricing, I just know Beta will be a priced tier in future and so all tools that are main thing of this app, will be behind paywall.

2023? At least update your footer.

Promising tool but same as <a href="https://app.daily.dev/bastek" data-mention-id="kEcE3OZ0k32zIO85YOmGE" data-mention-username="bastek" translate="no">@bastek</a>, your licensing policy is opaque =&gt; red flag for any testing or long term usage. Less restrictive freemium policy or extended paywall might be a better bet.
