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
