Clearer API Output

Currently when we Activate or Suspend a check via the api we get the following response:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "success",
}
It would be nice to be able to get the check name in the response so we know which ones are successful and which ones fail, something like this:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
  "code": 0,
  "name": "Website Name"
  "message": "success",
}

Hi Framirez,

Thanks for raising this request. As the response of API is specific to check/monitor, is the http response code alone sufficient to know the successful/failed monitor?

Thanks,

Hi @Yamini  ... Actually the response code would not work because we would be doing multiple monitors at the same time and the output would how us which ones were successful and which ones failed.

Thanks for the update Yamini ... Using actual API output, the returned data should be:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
  "code": 0,
  "display_name": "Monitor Name"
  "message": "success",
}

This way when we run our production state change script we would get output like:

Monitor Name - Success
Monitor Name - Success
Monitor Name - Success
Monitor Name - Failed 

(not sure what a failed message would be)

Hi Framirez,

We have taken up your request, and now the monitor display name is also returned in the API response.  

The API output would be :

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "success",
  "data": {
    "resource_name": "Monitor Name"
  }
}

Thanks,
Yamini

Hi Yamini,

Thanks for the update.. Would it be too much to have the message inside the data section instead? Something like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8
{
  "code": 0,
  "data": {
    "resource_name": "Monitor Name"
    "message": "success"
  }
}

Hi Framirez,

It is the standard Site24x7 API response format being followed.


 



Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Yamini
