# Monitoring metrics through Web API

Through the SonarQube Web API’s, you can retrieve code metric values and histories by using the [`/api/measures`](https://next.sonarqube.com/sonarqube/web_api/api/measures)\`\`endpoint. The metric keys are listed in the metric tables in [metrics-definition](https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/10.6/user-guide/code-metrics/metrics-definition "mention") or you can use the `/api/metrics` endpoint to retrieve them.
