API Health Check

Daily HTTP GET against an API endpoint. Notifies the owner's inbox when the endpoint returns a non-200 response code.

What it does

Every day at 09:00 (server time), this monitor calls GET https://example.com/. If the response code is anything other than 200, the owner's inbox receives a notification with the response code and the first 500 characters of the response body.

Edit before installing

The default URL points at https://example.com/, which always returns 200. After installing, edit the monitor's YAML and change check.args.url to the endpoint you want to watch.

You can also change: - schedule.time — when the check fires each day (HH:mm, server timezone) - schedule.type — switch to week/weekday/weekend/custom if daily is too infrequent - check.args.method — set to POST/HEAD/etc. if your endpoint needs it

Bindings used

{{check.responseCode}} — HTTP status code returned by the GET
{{check.responseBody}} — body of the response (string)
{{monitor.name}} — api-health-check
{{monitor.firedAt}} — ISO 8601 timestamp of this fire

Tool used

http — core InTouch HTTP task. Ships with every install; no credentials required for unauthenticated public endpoints. If your endpoint needs auth, add a credential and set check.credentialName: in the YAML.
