Developers API

Overview

UptimeGuard API is build with REST principles. It uses JSON format for request and response bodies.
Base URL: https://uptimeguard.net/api/v1
Current API version: v1

Authentication

Get your API token in User Profile (or using "/login" API function, to authorize via email/password and get user profile details with API token).
Each request should contain "Authorization" and "Content-Type" headers 
Authorization: Bearer [API token here]
Content-Type: application/json

Request format

All params should be transmitted as a properties of a JSON object, for example 
{
  "email":"john@example.com",
  "password":"password",
  "confirm_password": "password",
  "name": "John Doe",
  "time_zone": "Pacific Time (US & Canada)",
  "settings": {
    "nested_param": "value 1",
    "nested_param2": "value 2",
  }
}

Response format and codes

General success response format is 
{
  status: 0,
  response: [... response object/array ...]
}
General error response format is 
{
  status: 1,
  response: "Error description string"
}
status filed helps to detect response type from JSON contents.

API also uses following HTTP response codes to make high-level indication of error condition 
400: Wrong request params
401: Auth token is not correct or user not found
404: Accessed route not found or your user does not have an access
200: Success or handled error condition, that differs from 400/404 codes
500: Internal server error, that can't be handled from client side
