<h1>Pinging API</h1>
|
|
<p>With the Pinging API, you can signal <strong>success</strong>, <strong>start</strong>, and <strong>failure</strong> events from
|
|
your systems.</p>
|
|
<h2>General Notes</h2>
|
|
<p>All ping endpoints support:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>HTTP and HTTPS</li>
|
|
<li>HTTP 1.0, HTTP 1.1 and HTTP 2</li>
|
|
<li>IPv4 and IPv6</li>
|
|
<li>HEAD, GET, and POST requests methods. The HTTP POST requests
|
|
can optionally include diagnostic information in the request body.
|
|
If the request body looks like a UTF-8 string, SITE_NAME stores the request body
|
|
(limited to the first 10KB for each received ping).</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Successful responses will have the "200 OK" HTTP response status code and a short
|
|
"OK" string in the response body.</p>
|
|
<h2>UUIDs and Slugs</h2>
|
|
<p>Each Pinging API request needs to uniquely identify a check.
|
|
SITE_NAME supports two ways of identifying a check: by check's UUID,
|
|
or by a combination of project's Ping Key and check's slug.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Check's UUID</strong> is automatically assigned when the check is created. It is
|
|
immutable. You cannot replace the automatically assigned UUID with a manually
|
|
chosen one. When you delete a check, you also lose its UUID and cannot get it back.</p>
|
|
<p>You can look up UUIDs of your checks in web UI or via <a href="../api/">Management API</a> calls.</p>
|
|
<p><strong>Check's slug</strong> is derived from check's name using Django's
|
|
<a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/utils/#django.utils.text.slugify">slugify</a>
|
|
function. It applies the following transformations:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Convert to ASCII.</li>
|
|
<li>Convert to lowercase.</li>
|
|
<li>Remove characters that aren't alphanumerics, underscores, hyphens, or whitespace.</li>
|
|
<li>Replace any whitespace or repeated hyphens with single hyphens.</li>
|
|
<li>Remove leading and trailing whitespace, hyphens, and underscores.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>For example, if check's name is "Database Backup", its slug is <code>database-backup</code>.</p>
|
|
<p>Check's slug <strong>can change</strong>. SITE_NAME updates check's slug whenever its name changes.</p>
|
|
<p>Check's slug is <strong>not guaranteed to be unique</strong>. If multiple checks in the project
|
|
have the same name, they also have the same slug. If you make a Pinging API
|
|
request using a non-unique slug, SITE_NAME will return the "409 Conflict" HTTP status
|
|
code and ignore the request.</p>
