  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "My Website",
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "check_interval": 5
  }'

​

    // Response data here
  }
}

​

Error Responses

{
  "success": false,

​

Rate Limiting

• X-RateLimit-Limit
• X-RateLimit-Remaining
• X-RateLimit-Reset

​

Best Practices

​

🔒 Security

• Never expose API tokens in client-side code
• Use environment variables for token storage
• Rotate tokens regularly
• Use minimum required permissions

​

⚡ Performance

• Cache frequently accessed data
• Use appropriate pagination parameters
• Batch requests when possible
• Implement exponential backoff for retries

​

🐛 Error Handling

• Always check the success field in responses
• Handle rate limit errors gracefully
• Log errors for debugging
• Implement proper timeout handling

​

Troubleshooting

​

Common Issues

• Check your API token is valid
• Ensure token has required permissions
• Verify Expert Plan subscription for API access

• Upgrade to required subscription plan
• Check endpoint-specific plan requirements
• Verify token permissions

• Review request payload format
• Check required fields are present
• Validate data types and formats

• Implement exponential backoff
• Consider upgrading your plan
• Optimize request frequency
