Overview

Pong is a health monitoring API that lets you track uptime, latency, and availability of your services. Create monitors for HTTP endpoints, SSL certificates, heartbeat checks, keyword presence, ping, and port availability. Configure alert contacts to get notified when things go wrong, and publish public status pages so your users stay informed.

Authentication

All endpoints under /api/v1/ require authentication via one of:

  • Auth0 JWT — RS256 Bearer token issued by Auth0 (used by the web app)
  • API Key — Long-lived key in the format pong_<hex> (used for scripts and CI/CD)

Both are passed as Authorization: Bearer <token>.

API keys can be created and managed via the /api/v1/api-keys endpoints. The raw key is only shown once at creation time.

Public endpoints such as heartbeat pings and status pages do not require authentication.
