Platform

A REST API for your own automation

Create monitors from your deployment scripts, read their status from your own dashboards or pause them during a release. The API uses personal access tokens that you can revoke at any time.

How it works

  1. 1

    Create a token

    In the tokens page, name it and choose read or write access. It is shown once.

  2. 2

    Send it as a bearer token

    Add an Authorization: Bearer header to your requests.

  3. 3

    Revoke it when done

    Delete the token and it stops working at once.

What you get

Read or write

A read token can only look. Use it for dashboards and reports.

Revocable

Tokens can be removed individually, and the last time each was used is shown.

Same as the app

The API that the application uses: monitors, channels, incidents and status pages can all be automated. Billing, account and token management stay in the app.

Scoped to the workspace

A token only reaches the data of its own workspace.

Where it helps

  • Infrastructure as code

    Create monitors together with the services they watch.

  • Dashboards

    Show status in your own tools.

  • Release scripts

    Pause and resume monitors around a deploy.

Questions

Are tokens stored in plain text?

No. Only a hash is kept, which is why a token is shown just once, when you create it.

Can a token change account security settings?

No. Tokens cannot change settings such as two-factor authentication.

Is there a limit on API use?

Normal use is fine. Requests that look like abuse can be limited.
