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."
}'

-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"linkup","path":"/fetch","body":"{\\"}'
done
