profile API call

Question

I enable profiler SetEnv MAGE_PROFILER html in my conf file for magento 2.

Is there an easy way to profile Magento 2 API REST calls.

Answer 1

I would recommend to check (even as a trial option) solutions like:

• Blackfire.io
• NewRelic
• xdebug

Those tools will show you exact traces and timing of each separate PHP Trace that is involved within any operation/transaction (not limited to API calls)

For Database related bottlenecks - MySQL Slow Query Log can be enabled (*depends on MySQL Version used). This can be used without mentioned performance monitoring tools
