Uptime Monitor - Website Availability Monitoring

Setup

Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:

export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")

If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: npx gooseworks login

All endpoints use Bearer auth: -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"

Monitor website uptime, check response times, and verify service availability.

Workflow

Step 1: Check Website Status

Verify site is accessible:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":{"url":"https://yoursite.com"}}'

Step 2: Verify Page Content

Ensure page loads correctly:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
  "website_url": "https://yoursite.com",
  "user_prompt": "Check if page loads and contains expected content. Report any error messages."
}'

Step 3: Test API Health

Check API endpoints:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":{"url":"https://api.yoursite.com/health"}}'

Step 4: Check Multiple Endpoints

Monitor critical paths:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"olostep","path":"/v1/batches"}'
  "urls": [
    "https://yoursite.com",
    "https://yoursite.com/login",
    "https://api.yoursite.com/health",
    "https://yoursite.com/dashboard"
  ]
}'

Step 5: Research Status Page

Check official status:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
  "website_url": "https://status.yoursite.com",
  "user_prompt": "Extract current service status, any incidents, and affected components"
}'

Step 6: Send Alert (if down)

Use SMS for critical alerts:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"textbelt","path":"/text"}'
  "phone": "+1234567890",
  "message": "ALERT: yoursite.com is down! Check immediately."
}'

Monitoring Script

SITES=("https://example.com" "https://api.example.com/health")

for site in "${SITES[@]}"; do
  echo "Checking: $site"
  curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":"{\\"}'
done

Example Usage

# Quick status check
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":{"url":"https://stripe.com"}}'

# Check status page
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"scrapegraph","path":"/v1/smartscraper"}'
  "website_url": "https://status.github.com",
  "user_prompt": "What is the current status of GitHub services?"
}'

# Monitor competitor uptime
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":{"url":"https://competitor.com"}}'

Discover More

List all endpoints, or add a path for parameter details:

curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"linkup API endpoints"}' api show olostep
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/search \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"prompt":"scrapegraph API endpoints"}' api show textbelt 

Example: curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/details \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"api":"olostep","path":"/v1/scrapes"}' for endpoint parameters.
