Uptime Monitoring API

Uptime Monitoring API for Website Checks

MonitorMojo provides an uptime monitoring API for checking website availability programmatically. Run checks, retrieve results, and integrate monitoring into your deployment workflow.

The Problem

Small misses turn into public failures fast.

Uptime checks belong in your own systems too

A dashboard is fine for a human to glance at, but a monitoring script, status page, or internal tool needs reachability data as a callable endpoint.

Third-party status widgets are inflexible

Embeddable status-page widgets rarely fit an internal tool's data format or display needs.

Polling a site yourself means building and maintaining that code

A basic HTTP-check script is simple to write once, then becomes another small maintenance burden over time.

How It Works

1

Add your domain

Enter the website, subdomain, or client property you need to protect.

2

MonitorMojo checks it

Run a real reachability, HTTPS/SSL, response time, and configured health check.

3

Review what needs attention

Use the returned signals to decide what to fix before a browser error or complaint.

Features

Website health checks built for the signals teams forget until they hurt.

api

Reachability checks via API

Call an endpoint and get back HTTP status, reachability, and redirect behavior as structured data.

terminal

CLI included

Run the same check from the command line without writing an API client first.

code

Structured, parseable responses

Get JSON your own scripts, dashboards, or status pages can consume directly.

schedule

Call it on your own schedule

Trigger checks from cron, a scheduler, or a workflow instead of a fixed built-in polling interval.

history

Saved check history

Every API-triggered check is saved, so results are available for later review, not just the instant they're returned.

search_check

On-demand or scheduled

Call the check whenever your own system needs a fresh reachability result.

Who This Is For

Built for teams closest to the website.

Developers building internal tools

Pull uptime data into your own dashboard or status page instead of embedding a third-party widget.

Teams automating checks

Trigger reachability checks from scripts, cron jobs, or your own scheduling system.

Agencies building client-facing tools

Feed uptime data into a custom client portal rather than sending clients to a separate dashboard.

Why MonitorMojo

Simple checks for real website risk.

Built to be called, not just clicked

The same reachability check available in the dashboard is fully accessible through the API.

Credit-based pricing

Pay for checks your systems actually trigger, not a flat monitoring fee regardless of usage.

One less script to maintain

Retire a hand-rolled uptime-checking script in favor of a maintained endpoint.

Workflow Guide

What this workflow means

Uptime monitoring API that enables developers to check website availability programmatically, retrieve check results, and integrate uptime monitoring into their workflows.

In practice, that means reviewing API, CLI, and AI-agent checks that retrieve website health context for human-reviewed workflows from one repeatable process instead of waiting for developers and AI-agent builders to hear about a problem secondhand. A check can show whether a URL is reachable, whether SSL appears valid, how quickly the server responds, and whether selected headers are present — it does not replace a security audit or an incident-response team, but it makes the underlying signals visible before they turn into a bigger issue.

Who should use this

This is built for developers and AI-agent builders — specifically for the moment of scripting a check into a deploy pipeline or agent workflow. A dashboard is fine for a human to glance at, but a monitoring script, status page, or internal tool needs reachability data as a callable endpoint. The same workflow is reusable by anyone with a public URL tied to revenue, leads, or reputation.

Detailed step-by-step workflow

Start by listing the URLs that actually matter for scripting a check into a deploy pipeline or agent workflow — not every page on the site, just the ones tied to revenue, signups, or trust. Define the check types for each: reachability, HTTP status, HTTPS/SSL status and expiry window, response time, redirects, and security header presence.

Set a cadence that matches the risk: a monthly review for low-traffic pages, a check right after every deploy for anything tied to revenue. When something fails, triage before assuming cause — hosting, DNS, SSL, code, cache, or a third-party script could all be responsible. Record an owner and a next review date, then re-check after the fix ships.

Checklist and template

Use this template for every review: [URL], [Check Type], [Status], [Issue], [Priority], [Owner], [Detected Date], [Next Review Date]. Describe what the check observed before assigning a root cause — 'response time increased' is a fact, 'hosting is the problem' is a guess until confirmed.

For a recurring report, group findings by reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers, and say plainly when a signal showed no issue rather than implying full coverage.

Common mistakes

The most common miss for developers and AI-agent builders is checking only the homepage while a checkout, signup, or booking flow silently breaks. A close second is assuming SSL auto-renewal always works — it can fail quietly, and an external check is the only way to catch it before a browser warning does. The biggest framing mistake is treating one clean check as proof the whole site is covered.

Practical example

Picture scripting a check into a deploy pipeline or agent workflow. A scheduled check flags that a key page is slower than its usual baseline and a security header is missing. Call an endpoint and get back HTTP status, reachability, and redirect behavior as structured data. Instead of guessing, the team logs the observation, assigns an owner, and re-checks after the fix — turning "something feels off" into a closed-loop task with a timestamp attached.

How MonitorMojo helps

MonitorMojo runs the checks behind uptime monitoring api for website checks — reachability, SSL, response time, and security headers — from one dashboard, with an API and CLI for teams that want it scripted into an existing workflow. Credit-based checks make it practical to run a review exactly when it matters: before a client call, after a deploy, or the moment someone asks whether the site is healthy.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before they check website health.

What does the uptime API return?

Structured data covering reachability, HTTP status code, and redirect behavior for the checked URL, suitable for parsing directly in your own code.

Can I use this to build my own status page?

Yes. The API returns structured reachability data you can feed into your own status page or internal dashboard instead of embedding a third-party widget.

Is there a CLI, or only a REST API?

Both. The CLI wraps the same API for command-line use. See /cli for details.

Can I trigger checks on my own schedule instead of a fixed interval?

Yes. Checks are triggered on demand through the API, so you control when and how often they run from your own scheduler or automation.

Where's the full API documentation?

Full documentation, including authentication and response formats, is available at /api-docs.
