APIv2<\/strong><\/a> is built for a faster, more secure and stable experience with added features.<\/p>\nSSL and POST only<\/h3>\n
The APIv2 expects all parameters to be sent as a POST request and works SSL-only where both changes together help making it more secure.<\/p>\n
Updated parameter names and speed<\/h3>\n
The parameter names and responses are very consistent now. They are all lower-case, separated with “_” (like api_key).<\/p>\n
And,\u00a0most\u00a0methods are now ~\u00a02x to 5x faster<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAdded features<\/h3>\n
It is now possible to pull more data with getMonitors<\/code> method, including:<\/p>\n\n- getting the uptime % of a range (or multiple ranges) with\u00a0
custom_uptime_ranges<\/code> parameter<\/li>\n- getting the all time duration of statuses with\u00a0\u00a0
all_time_uptime_durations<\/code>\u00a0parameter<\/li>\n- getting the logs of a given period with\u00a0
logs_start_date<\/code> and logs_end_date<\/code> parameters<\/li>\n- getting maintenance windows of a monitor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And, maintenance windows can also now be managed<\/strong> with the API too.<\/p>\nCode samples<\/h3>\n
The updated documentation page now has code samples for each monitor in multiple scripting and programming languages including PHP, Python, Nodejs, Go, Ruby, C# and Java.<\/p>\n
When will APIv1 be retired?<\/h3>\n
APIv2 is the version that\u00a0will be improved from now on and APIv1 is planned to be retired by 1 June 2017<\/strong>. So, please make sure that you switch to the new API before then.<\/p>\nSuggestions and bug reports<\/h3>\n
We are already using APIv2 in production, so, it is pretty stable. Yet, there is always a change of bugs and please let us know if you experience one.<\/p>\n
Also, look forward to any suggestions and feature requests to make it better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
