Accessing the Uptrends API using Powershell

The following example accesses the Uptrends API and fetches the list of Uptrends monitors in your account. Keep in mind that in order to access our API, you’ll need to register for a set of API-specific credentials, and make sure to use those rather than your regular Uptrends credentials.

# Specify your Uptrends login info here 
$user = "9d9f60d1a54ceb34afaf47b3abebde47" $pass= "1234xxx" 
# URI to the API method you want to execute 
$uri = "https://api.uptrends.com/v4/Monitor"  
# Compile the login info into credentials containing basic authentication 
$passwordValue = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force  $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ($user, $passwordValue)  
# Execute the request 
$result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $uri -Method Get -Credential $cred -Headers @{ Accept = "application/json" }

That final statement puts the result in the `$result` variable. You can then continue working with that content. For example, to retrieve the check URL for a specific monitor:

$result | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'Uptime galacticresorts.com' } | Select Url
