How to find your API key

Updated October 13, 2026

The REST API lets you create and manage monitors, heartbeats, DNS and server monitors, domains, status pages, incidents, projects and notification handlers from your own code. It is included from the Professional plan.

Find the key

  1. Log in to your Uptimecheck account.
  2. Open your account menu and choose API.
  3. Copy your API key. The same page links to the API documentation for each resource.

Use it

Send the key as a bearer token in the Authorization header:

curl https://app.uptimecheck.com/api/monitors \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Treat the key like a password: keep it out of code repositories and front-end code. More on the REST API.
