Monitor everything. Automate anything.

Monitor everything. Automate anything.

Plug UptimeRobot's v3 REST API into your codebase and handle uptime, status pages, SSL, cron jobs, maintenance windows, and more from a single endpoint.

API Docs (V3) View legacy API docs.

Automate every monitor in minutes.

Spin up, modify, or delete monitors straight from your CI/CD pipeline. No manual clicks, no copy-paste fatigue – just concise calls that move as fast as your deploys.

Included in all plans

Our API comes with clear, published rate limits (up to 5,000 req/min), so you can scale without surprises.

Integrates with your toolchain

cURL, Postman, CI/CD, serverless: If it speaks HTTP, it plays nice with our JSON/XML responses. Treat uptime as code: version it, template it, and roll it out globally.

Your dashboard, programmatically

Everything you can do in the UI, plus bulk ops and custom scripts, now lives at a single REST endpoint. Manage uptime, SSL, cron jobs, and alert contacts in one sweep.

Built with UptimeRobot's API.

From hobby projects to enterprise workflows. See what our community builds.

Grafana & Prometheus

Teams ingest UptimeRobot metrics into Grafana and GCP Monitoring, correlating uptime with server metrics in one pane.

Ansible & Terraform

Operators automate the onboarding of hundreds of monitors via IaC, ensuring new services are always under watch.

Integromat/Make workflows

Support teams automatically open Zendesk tickets during downtime and close them upon recovery, cutting incident response times in half.

WordPress plugin

Bloggers and agencies embed live uptime stats directly in posts and dashboards, boosting transparency for clients.

Keep-awake pings

Developers prevent free-tier apps from sleeping, achieving ~99% availability on zero-cost hosting.

Custom heartbeat stacks

Home labs combine local health checks with UptimeRobot alerts: monitoring disks, containers, VMs, and more from a single pane.

"I built an Integromat/Make scenario that receives all webhook events from UptimeRobot, locates or creates the right ticket in our system, and closes it on recovery … it's been working great for the last few years with only a few tweaks required as our needs change."

"I added UR to our Grafana dashboard today. I also added another table widget for reporting on latest status, average response time, and 7 day uptime."

"If I put UptimeRobot data in Prometheus then I can make a dashboard in GCP's Cloud Alerting/Monitoring and then not have to hear everyone tell me Grafana is too complicated."

"Several people have built Terraform providers that use the UR API to create resources in UR using repeatable idempotent code."

"The main goal is to have its own, independent heartbeat server, to be able to integrate with any alerting provider – including UptimeRobot."
