Can one monitor check several JSON fields?

No. One HTTP monitor checks one JSON field. Add another monitor for a second field.

Does a single 500 send an alert?

Not by itself. UPKira checks the URL again. Only a confirmed failure opens the incident.

Check an API for a status, a word, or a JSON field.

An HTTP monitor loads a URL and can require a status code, text that must appear, text that must not, or one JSON field with an expected value. A failure is checked again before anyone is alerted.

Keyword and JSON assertions

The body can be required to contain a phrase, or to omit one. A JSON check names one field and the value it should have. Custom headers, an Authorization header, and a request body are stored encrypted and are not shown again after you save them.

Slow is not down

A slow threshold marks the monitor degraded without paging you for an outage. A timeout, a wrong status, or a missing phrase is a failure, and that failure is confirmed before the incident says the API is down.

What this does not do

One check follows one URL. It is not a multi-step browser script, and browser checks are not offered. UPKira probes from one region. Page speed is a separate monitor type, with its own hourly and daily limits.
