Monitors API
List monitor runs
The check history for a monitor, newest first, with what changed on each run.
Endpoint
/v1/monitors/runslive · provenfreeMonitor relevance
Optional filtering and saved matching results
Use relevance_enabled, relevance_prompt and exclusions on creation or update. Monitor reads return the settings; findings return retained matches and evidence; runs show processing and undecided counts. Dashboard, API and MCP share the same backend. Follow the setup and pagination examples, uncertainty guide or Claude/MCP example.

Response fields and example
This example is illustrative, not a captured live response. Variable-cost operations may settle a charge different from the list price below. A successful response puts the platform payload in data and reports the exact credits used, remaining balance, request id and cache status beside it.
{
"success": true,
"platform": "monitors",
"endpoint": "/v1/monitors/runs",
"data": {
"items": [],
"count": 0,
"cursor": null,
"has_more": false
},
"credits_used": 0,
"credits_remaining": 99,
"request_id": "req_…",
"cached": false
}The example is illustrative and shows a documented subset of data. The fields below are optional across supported sources; nullable fields can also be absent. Preserve unknown values and accept additional fields.
Schema basis: reviewed response shaper. See schema coverage and validation limits.
Download the data JSON Schema. Validate response.data, not the whole envelope. A valid shape does not establish that every field or source record was returned.
| Field inside data | Type | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
items | array | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].id | string | null | id |
items[].monitor_id | string | null | monitor id |
items[].run_at | string | null | run at |
items[].status | string | null | status |
items[].error | string | null | error |
items[].processing_status | string | null | processing status |
items[].summary | | Operation-specific JSON value; inspect the status and requested operation before reading it. |
items[].changed | boolean | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].metrics | object | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
items[].credits_charged | number | null | credits charged |
items[].credits_refunded | number | null | credits refunded |
items[].snapshot | | Operation-specific JSON value; inspect the status and requested operation before reading it. |
items[].diff | | Operation-specific JSON value; inspect the status and requested operation before reading it. |
count | number | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
cursor | string | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
has_more | boolean | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
Core response fields reviewed from the public response shaper. Fields vary by requested options; additive fields remain allowed.
Failures use the typed error envelope. A confirmed uncharged or refunded failure reports zero; a pending reconciliation can report an unknown charge. Read credits_used and error.details.billing_status, and keep request_id for recovery. Response contract · Error reference
