API Status Page Guide: Share Uptime with Live Badges and JSON

A status page answers a simple question: is the service working right now? SiteInformant lets a monitor owner publish that answer without exposing private request headers or account data.

Public status pages

Enable public status for a monitor to publish current availability, recent response information, and SSL certificate details. Public indexing is a separate choice, so a page can be shared directly without automatically asking search engines to list it.

SVG badges

The live SVG badge is useful in:

Because the badge is generated from current monitoring data, the destination displays the latest state without a manual update.

Public JSON status API

Opted-in monitors are also available through a read-only JSON endpoint. Scripts, dashboards, reports, and internal tools can consume the same public status data.

The public API does not create, edit, or delete monitors. Monitor management remains inside the authenticated SiteInformant application.

Keep the public surface intentional

Only enable public status for endpoints that are appropriate to share. SiteInformant never exposes encrypted request-header values through the public page, badge, or JSON response.

Together, the page, badge, and JSON endpoint provide three views of the same status: human-readable, embeddable, and machine-readable.
