API Documentation

Check Website Status

GET https://backendgames.herokuapp.com/checker/{domain}

Returns real-time status information for the specified domain including uptime, response time, and availability.

Response Format:

{
  "domain": "example.com",
  "is_up": true,
  "check_time": 245,
  "last_check": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
  "checks": 1250
}

Integration Examples

JavaScript/Node.js

const checkWebsiteStatus = async (domain) => {
  try {
    const response = await fetch(
      `https://backendgames.herokuapp.com/checker/${domain}`,
      { method: 'PUT' }
    );
    const data = await response.json();
    return data;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Status check failed:', error);
  }
};

// Usage
const status = await checkWebsiteStatus('google.com');
console.log(`Google is ${status.is_up ? 'up' : 'down'}`);

Python

import requests

def check_website_status(domain):
    try:
        response = requests.put(
            f"https://backendgames.herokuapp.com/checker/{domain}"
        )
        return response.json()
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Status check failed: {e}")
        return None

# Usage
status = check_website_status('github.com')
if status and status['is_up']:
    print(f"GitHub is up with {status['check_time']}ms response time")

PHP

<?php
function checkWebsiteStatus($domain) {
    $url = "https://backendgames.herokuapp.com/checker/" . $domain;
    
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "PUT");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    
    return json_decode($response, true);
}

// Usage
$status = checkWebsiteStatus('stackoverflow.com');
if ($status && $status['is_up']) {
    echo "Stack Overflow is online!";
}
?>

Best Practices for Developers

Error Handling

Always implement proper error handling and fallback mechanisms when integrating status checking into your applications.

Rate Limiting

Implement appropriate rate limiting to avoid overwhelming the API and ensure reliable service for all users.

Caching

Cache status results appropriately to reduce API calls while maintaining data freshness for your users.

Monitoring

Set up monitoring and alerting systems to track the health of your dependencies and external services.

Use Cases

  • Microservices Monitoring: Check the health of your service dependencies
  • Third-party Integration: Monitor external APIs and services your app depends on
  • User Experience: Provide real-time status information to your users
  • DevOps Automation: Integrate status checks into your CI/CD pipelines
  • Alert Systems: Build custom alerting based on service availability
