StatusCake badges

[crazy-max]

Would be nice to have a shields.io badge for the StatusCake service.
For the moment i use the StatusCake badges but like you can see on the README.md of this repository, the integration is pretty awful...

An example link provided by StatusCake :

<a href="https://www.statuscake.com" title="Website Uptime Monitoring"><img src="https://app.statuscake.com/button/index.php?Track=mZ96VTLi6T&Days=1&Design=6" /></a>

Basic parameters are :

• track_id (string)
• days (integer between 1 and 1000)

Example :

1 day for track_id mZ96VTLi6T :

Thanks!

Also based on the API we can grab tests by their IDs.

Example : https://app.statuscake.com/API/Tests/Details/?TestID=1811593

{
   "Method":"GET",
   "TestID":1811593,
   "TestType":"HTTP",
   "Paused":false,
   "WebsiteName":"neard.io",
   "URI":"http:\/\/neard.io",
   "ContactGroup":null,
   "ContactID":0,
   "ContactGroups":[

   ],
   "Status":"Up",
   "Uptime":100,
   "CheckRate":300,
   "Timeout":40,
   "LogoImage":"",
   "Confirmation":"2",
   "WebsiteHost":"Github",
   "NodeLocations":[
      ""
   ],
   "FindString":"",
   "DoNotFind":false,
   "LastTested":"2017-01-22 16:52:27",
   "NextLocation":"JP1",
   "Processing":false,
   "ProcessingState":"Complete",
   "ProcessingOn":"SSDVPS1",
   "DownTimes":"0",
   "TriggerRate":"0",
   "Sensitive":false,
   "EnableSSLWarning":false,
   "FollowRedirect":false,
   "DNSIP":"",
   "DNSServer":"",
   "CustomHeader":""
}

Then we can create two badges for status and uptime.

But the API required an API key or a username/password linked to the testID :(

Don't they provide read only API keys? It would be good enough to be able to read the datum

[crazy-max]

@FezVrasta I have posted an issue to StatusCake about it, i'll keep you in touch

[crazy-max]

StatusCake: Hey there, that's correct - we don't currently include the read-only keys, and currently only provide the standard key that you see in the User Details section :)
Me: Ok thanks, do you plan to include read-only API keys ?
StatusCake: I've put this in as a feature suggestion but no current plans I'm afraid!

[StatusCakeDaniel]

We'd be more than happy to make a call that suits - what would be the ideal response / call?

Hi @StatusCakeDaniel,

You can read the issue #824 i opened for UptimeRobot Shield and read my modification on the PR #947.
The blocking issue is that StatusCake does not provide a public (read-only) API key. If you have more info, i can develop a similar badge as UptimeRobot.

I'm marking all the needs-upstream-help issues closed.

If there's new information from the upstream service, please post in the thread. If they're actionable by Shields, a maintainer will reopen the issue.

If anyone wants to follow up with these vendors, feel free to do that! Even though the unresolved issues are closed, they are easy to find:
