What is the Pingdom API and how can I use it?

The Pingdom API allows you to access and manage your Pingdom account programmatically. You can use it to check the status of your websites, retrieve uptime reports, and manage your checks.

Can you give me an example of how to check the status of a website using the API?

Sure! You can use a GET request to the endpoint /checks/{check_id} to retrieve the status of a specific check. You'll need to include your API key in the headers.

What kind of data can I retrieve from the API?

You can retrieve various data such as uptime statistics, response times, and incident reports. The API provides detailed information about each check.

Is there a limit to how many requests I can make to the API?

Yes, there are rate limits depending on your subscription plan. It's best to check the Pingdom API documentation for specific limits.
