Modern APIs for modern stacks

Search interest in uptimerobot open source shows engineers want extensibility. Watch.Dog exposes REST and GraphQL APIs plus Terraform modules so you can codify monitoring beside infrastructure.

Webhooks, inbound alert endpoints, and public status JSON feeds help open source communities plug uptime into docs, CLIs, or Discord bots.

Why Watch.Dog wins

  • Free API access with generous rate limits
  • Signed incident webhooks for trust
  • CLI + SDKs to automate monitor lifecycle

Deliver UptimeRobot 2.0-level UX

Point your users to Watch.Dog-hosted status pages with changelog automation, RSS feeds, and embed codes.

Because the super free plan includes unlimited viewers, you can keep your community informed without paying enterprise bills.

Replacing our uptimerobot open source fork with Watch.Dog freed two sprints per quarter.
