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.

Parameters

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.

NameRequiredDescriptionExample
dry_runnoRead 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
curl "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/status" \
  -H "x-api-key: mn_your_key_here"
TypeScript
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
python
import os
import requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://www.monocrawl.com/v1/status",
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["MONOCRAWL_API_KEY"]},
    timeout=60,
)
body = res.json()

if not body["success"]:
    # one error shape for every endpoint — see /docs/errors
    raise RuntimeError(f"{body['error']['type']}: {body['error']['message']}")

print(body["data"], "credits left:", body["credits_remaining"])

Response

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.

200 · application/json
{
  "success": true,
  "platform": "status",
  "endpoint": "/v1/status",
  "data": {
    "generated_at": null,
    "updated_at": null,
    "latency_scope": null,
    "window_minutes": 0,

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.

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
