UptimeRobot Shield

[UdoKifferbrehl]

What do you think of adding an Uptime Robot shield?

Thanks for the suggestion.

How would authorization work? Would the badge include a monitor-specific API key?

[crazy-max]

Would be nice 🙃

@crazy-max Would you like to make a pull request? There is a tutorial.

@paulmelnikow I have tried to make StatusCake badges #864 but they do not plan to include read-only API keys and i'm afraid it's the same for Uptime Robot for now.

[paulmelnikow]

Gotcha. Will mark both of these as awaiting help from the vendor, then.

Great news from Uptime Robot staff :

Hi,

Yes. Details below :).

Currently, there are account API keys that can fetch all the account data.

And, there are "per monitor API keys" which are read-only and can only get the data of that monitor. Considering a badge will be per monitor, that looks like it'll be a perfect fit.

The "per monitor API keys" can be created from My Settings page>API and the API docs can be found at: https://uptimerobot.com/api .

Have a great day,
