Full index of the HookPulse API.

Check a site monitor now. One call every 10 seconds per destination host. One call every 10 seconds per destination host, for everyone: the button cannot hammer a site. The first state of a new site comes from here, without an alert — you are looking at it. After that, the state and the alerts come from the check that runs every minute.

Write to the people behind the product: a question, or a sponsorship/partnership/advertising proposal. One route for a question and for a sponsorship, partnership or ad proposal (`tipo`, with the placements of `GET /api/partners`). One message every 10 seconds per network: one that arrives sooner waits its turn and then goes out — no error. The message reaches the team by e-mail, with `email` as the reply address. For voice, send multipart/form-data: `dados` is this JSON (up to 32 KiB), and `audio` is one WebM, Ogg or M4A audio file (up to 2 MB). Audio can replace message. The browser records up to two minutes. Audio is attached to the owner's e-mail.

Create a monitor for a routine. Use cron, tz and grace_sec for a schedule, or interval_sec for a fixed check-in interval. Set max_duration_sec to detect an open run that exceeds its time limit. With `check` the monitor is a site: HookPulse calls `check.url` every `interval_sec` (default 300) and alerts when it goes down — two failed checks in a row, one minute apart, from a server whose own connection is proven — and when it answers again. `{"check":{"url":"https://example.com/"}}` is enough; the name defaults to the host. A site has no `cron`, no `max_duration_sec` and no ingest URL. This response is the only one that shows the monitor's `token` and the `templates` — keep them. A miss alerts at most once per 24h — or per `alert_repeat_sec`, or per interval, whichever is longer. Send `cron`+`tz`+`grace_sec` instead of `interval_sec` for a real schedule: a 03:00 backup is late at 03:01:30, not 24 hours later. `max_duration_sec` catches the other failure: a run that starts and hangs, which plain silence detection only notices at the next scheduled time.

Creates a guest token hp_… Keep the token: without it there is no way back to the monitors, unless you have already tied them to an e-mail.

Monitor a website: HookPulse calls check.url every interval_sec (default 300) and alerts when it goes down and when it is back. With `check` the monitor is a site: HookPulse calls `check.url` every `interval_sec` (default 300) and alerts when it goes down — two failed checks in a row, one minute apart, from a server whose own connection is proven — and when it answers again. `{"check":{"url":"https://example.com/"}}` is enough; the name defaults to the host.

Removes the owner's endpoint.

Status of one endpoint (use the endpoint token if you have it). The monitor token only reads: it lets you put the state on a third-party dashboard without handing over the owner's credential. With a schedule it is here that `next_expected_at` says when the next run is due.

Liveness.

Reads a crontab and proposes one monitor per scheduled line. Without apply=1 nothing is written; the proposal says what was ignored and why. Passwords in the command are redacted. The body is the crontab itself, as `text/plain`. Without `?apply=1` **nothing is written**: you get the proposal — what would become a monitor, what was ignored and why, and what still fits in the free tier. With `apply=1` it is all or nothing, under the same rules as `POST /api/endpoints`. Comments, variables and `@reboot` are ignored (there is no way to know when to expect a reboot); `@daily` and friends become the equivalent expression. The command becomes the monitor name, with passwords and tokens redacted first — the name travels in the alert e-mail, in the public dashboard and in the badge.

Returns (minting the first time) the key for /in/<key>/<slug>, where a ping creates its own monitor inside the free tier. Instruments a whole fleet with no setup call per job. One key per owner. The key survives signing in: the crontab you deployed keeps working.

Rotates the ingest key; the previous one stops creating monitors. Existing ones keep working. Monitors already created keep working — rotating only revokes the power to create new ones.

Lists the guest's/session's endpoints.

Latest ingest pings.

The state of every site you monitor (up, down, waiting, paused), with the last check.

Ingest snippets and the JSON HookPulse POSTs on a miss. It exists so nobody guesses the alert format: `miss_json` and `recovery_json` here are the same bodies that arrive at your `alert_url`. Slack and Discord receive only the field they read.

Simulates the cron: GET on /in/:id. No credential on purpose — the caller is a cron, and the ID is already the secret.

Create a monitor on its first check-in. The same slug uses the same monitor. A rejected creation writes no monitor or event. The slug becomes the monitor name and its identity: the same slug always means the same monitor, so a retry never creates a second one. Normalised to lowercase, `[a-z0-9-]`, 40 chars. Works by GET or POST.

The shell exit status: 0 behaves like a ping, 1-255 record the code as a failure. `curl -fsS $ORIGIN/in/ID/$?` at the end of a script is the whole integration. `0` behaves exactly like a plain ping; 1 to 255 record the code and leave the failure for the cron.

Record a failed run. The next five-minute check sends the alert with reason fail. The monitor's alert_repeat_sec controls repeated alerts; the default is 24 hours. Failing is not proof of life either: the clock keeps running. The ingest never sends e-mail and never calls out — it records `alert_pending` and the cron turns it into an alert with `reason: "fail"` within 5 minutes, under the same one-per-24h cap. Works by GET or POST.

Send start, fail or an exit code by name, with the ingest key; the first signal of a new name creates its monitor. The same signals as `/in/:id/start`, `/in/:id/fail` and `/in/:id/:exit_code`, for a fleet that only knows the ingest key: the job sends its name, not the monitor id. The first signal of a new name creates the monitor, with the same rules and the same `cron`, `tz` and `grace_sec` as the plain ping by name.

Says the run STARTED. Does not clear the dead-man clock: a routine that starts and hangs still becomes a miss. The next success records the duration. `start` is not proof of life: it does not move `last_event_at` and does not clear the miss counter, so a routine that starts and hangs still becomes a miss at the right time. The next success closes the run and records `last_duration_ms` — pass `?rid=` on both ends when runs can overlap, or the duration is measured against the wrong start. With `max_duration_sec` set on the monitor, a run left open past that ceiling alerts with `reason: "too_long"` on the next 5-minute check. Works by GET or POST.

Rotates the status feed token; the previous URL stops working.

Public URL (JSON and RSS) with the status of all the owner's endpoints. The feed token only reads status: it does not create, change or delete. Whoever has the link sees the dashboard — treat it as a secret.
