The Uptrends API allows you to work with your Uptrends account in an automated way: you can build scripts that modify your monitoring setup, or you can access uptime and performance data for your own number crunching.
We currently have two API versions:
- Version 4 is the recommended version for using the Uptrends API. When starting to work with the API, this is the version to go to. Version 4 offers much more functionality than version 3.
- Version 3 is a legacy version and has way less options than version 4 of the API. You should use it only when you already have implemented version 3 APIs and are relying on it.
Both versions are REST APIs that require you to supply login credentials using a Basic Authentication HTTP header. The credentials used for the authentication are different for the versions, see the corresponding documentation for further info.
More information on how to use the API can be found in the knowledge base articles and the API specification environment as listed below.
