Uptime Monitor - Website Availability Monitoring

Monitor website uptime, check response times, and verify service availability.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Website Status

Verify site is accessible:

bash

orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://yoursite.com"}'

Step 2: Verify Page Content

Ensure page loads correctly:

bash

orth api run scrapegraph /v1/smartscraper --body '{
  "website_url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "user_prompt": "Check if page loads and contains expected content. Report any error messages."
}'

Step 3: Test API Health

Check API endpoints:

bash

orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://api.yoursite.com/health"}'

Step 4: Check Multiple Endpoints

Monitor critical paths:

bash

orth api run olostep /v1/batches --body '{
  "urls": [
    "https://yoursite.com",
    "https://yoursite.com/login",
    "https://api.yoursite.com/health",
    "https://yoursite.com/dashboard"
  ]
}'

Step 5: Research Status Page

Check official status:

bash

orth api run scrapegraph /v1/smartscraper --body '{
  "website_url": "https://status.yoursite.com",
  "user_prompt": "Extract current service status, any incidents, and affected components"
}'

Step 6: Send Alert (if down)

Use SMS for critical alerts:

bash

orth api run textbelt /text --body '{
  "phone": "+1234567890",
  "message": "ALERT: yoursite.com is down! Check immediately."
}'

Monitoring Script

bash

SITES=("https://example.com" "https://api.example.com/health")

for site in "${SITES[@]}"; do
  echo "Checking: $site"
  orth api run linkup /fetch --body "{\"url\": \"$site\"}"
done

Example Usage

bash

# Quick status check
orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://stripe.com"}'

# Check status page
orth api run scrapegraph /v1/smartscraper --body '{
  "website_url": "https://status.github.com",
  "user_prompt": "What is the current status of GitHub services?"
}'

orth api run linkup /fetch --body '{"url": "https://competitor.com"}'
