API reference
Platform Status API
Per-provider health over the last 15 minutes: request counts, error rate, p50/p95 latency and an up/degraded/unknown state per upstream provider.

Query parameters
Useful optional inputs
dry_run— Read a free estimate before fetching sources or scheduling paid work.Zero credits; cache status and availability are snapshots rather than guarantees.
| Name | Required | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
dry_run | no | Read a zero-credit estimate without fetching sources, running AI, or reserving credits. Cache status is a snapshot, not a guarantee at execution. Accepted values: 1, 0, true, false. Case, spaces, hyphens and underscores are interchangeable. | 1 |
Examples
Make the request
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/status" \ -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
TypeScript
const key = process.env.MONOCRAWL_API_KEY;
if (!key) throw new Error('Set MONOCRAWL_API_KEY on your server.');
const res = await fetch(
"https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/status",
{ headers: { "x-api-key": key } },
);
const body = await res.json();
if (!body.success) {
// one error shape for every endpoint — see /docs/errors
throw new Error(`${body.error.type}: ${body.error.message}`);
}
console.log(body.data, "credits left:", body.credits_remaining);Python

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": "status",
"endpoint": "/v1/status",
"data": {
"generated_at": null,
"updated_at": null,
"latency_scope": null,
"window_minutes": 0,
"cache_schema_version": null,
"latency_excludes": [],
"platforms": [],
"upstream_versions": null
},
"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 |
|---|---|---|
generated_at | string | null | generated at |
updated_at | string | null | updated at |
latency_scope | string | null | latency scope |
window_minutes | number | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
cache_schema_version | | Operation-specific JSON value; inspect the status and requested operation before reading it. |
latency_excludes | array | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
platforms | array | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
platforms[].platform | string | null | platform |
platforms[].state | string | null | state |
platforms[].health | string | null | health |
platforms[].requests | number | null | requests |
platforms[].errors | number | null | errors |
platforms[].p50 | number | null | p50 |
platforms[].p95 | number | null | p95 |
platforms[].circuit_health | object | null | Nested response fields; optional unless explicitly documented. |
upstream_versions | | Operation-specific JSON value; inspect the status and requested operation before reading it. |
Core response fields reviewed from the public response shaper. Fields vary by requested options; additive fields remain allowed.
No recent traffic means unknown, not a guarantee of availability.
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
