How do I know when an API is getting triggered ?

This might sound a bit silly but I wanted to know how to track during which phase of the application flow, an API is being triggered?

I have an API that kick starts a process model that queries data from database and that is about it. In the backend I see this process model is getting triggered every now and then started by a service account. Now, how do I know when this API is even being called? How do I back track it? checking its dependents doesn't show anything except for the process model.

Any response is appreciated. Thanks.

How about creating a wrapper process that is used solely by the API which then calls your process model?

Thank you for the response [mention:f5e81b8502fa4e77ad12697686a4fc56:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]

I did not understand what you meant exactly. Could you please explain more on how to create a wrapper process?

If you want to get notified, then you can also configure a send email node that sends you or a group of users an email every time API triggers a process model.
FYI, the number of times the process model is triggered by the service account = the number of times API was called.
