Azure Anomaly Detector retires October 1, 2026. Canary Edge is API-compatible — in most cases, you only need to change the endpoint URL and authentication header.

​
Step 1: Get Your Canary Edge API Key

Sign up at canaryedge.com and generate an API key from the dashboard.

​
Step 2: Update Your Endpoint

Replace the Azure endpoint with Canary Edge: 
- https://{your-resource}.cognitiveservices.azure.com/anomalydetector/v1.0/timeseries/entire/detect
+ https://api.canaryedge.com/v1/timeseries/entire/detect

​
Step 3: Update Authentication

Canary Edge accepts the same Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key header that Azure uses: 
  headers = {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
-     "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_AZURE_KEY",
+     "Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key": "YOUR_CANARY_EDGE_KEY",
  }

​
Step 4: Verify

Send the same request you were sending to Azure. The response format is identical: 
{
  "isAnomaly": [false, false, true, false],
  "isPositiveAnomaly": [false, false, true, false],
  "isNegativeAnomaly": [false, false, false, false],
  "expectedValues": [10.5, 10.8, 10.6, 10.7],
  "upperMargins": [2.1, 2.16, 2.12, 2.14],
  "lowerMargins": [2.1, 2.16, 2.12, 2.14],
  "period": 0
}

/timeseries/changepoint/detect/v1/timeseries/changepoint/detect

​
What’s Different

  • Better accuracy — Canary Edge’s advanced engine catches anomalies that threshold-based methods miss
  • No resource provisioning — No Azure resource groups, no Cognitive Services setup
  • Per-machine fine-tuning — Optional model customization via /v1/train
  • Transparent pricing — Pay per API call via Stripe, no Azure commitment required
