New in Monitrova — shareable tool results + API endpoint monitoring

Hey everyone,

Couple of updates shipped over the last few days that I think are worth a heads-up, especially if you use the free tools.

You can now share your free-tool results

Run any of the free checks — uptime, response time, SSL, homepage, WordPress, WooCommerce, or website growth — and there's a new Share this result button. Click it and you get:

• A public link with a ready-made social-preview image, so you can drop it in a Slack thread, a ticket, a tweet, wherever.

• A small status badge (like the ones you see on GitHub projects) you can embed on your own site or in a README.

It's opt-in — nothing gets saved or made public unless you actually click share. Run all the checks you want privately; only the ones you choose to share leave your screen.

You can monitor API endpoints now too

There's a new free API Endpoint Checker at monitrova.com/tools/api-endpoint-checker. Pick the method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE…), add your own headers and body, and set pass conditions — expected status code, max response time, body-contains text, and a JSON field path (optionally matching a specific value). No login needed.

And if you want it watched continuously, you can add an API endpoint as a monitor: on Add site, choose "API endpoint" as the monitor type. Monitrova runs your request on a schedule and uses those same conditions to decide if it's healthy — with the incidents, email/webhook alerts, and uptime history you already get for websites.

The nice part is the alerts actually tell you what broke — e.g. "Expected HTTP 200, got 503" — instead of just "something's down."

A couple of new guides

While we were at it we wrote a few plain-English help articles: a roundup of the best free uptime monitors, a guide to monitoring WooCommerce checkout (a homepage being "up" doesn't mean checkout works), and walkthroughs for both API features.

Happy to answer any questions in the thread — and if you try the share feature or the API checker, I'd love the feedback.
