Diagnostics API & Developer Ecosystem Guide

An operational diagnostics API isn't a hype launch — it's the connective tissue between monitoring, reporting, and your existing infrastructure tooling. This guide explains what's coming, how to prepare integrations, and how to join the developer waitlist calmly.

Quick summary

  • The API mirrors the dashboard: diagnostics, monitoring, reporting.
  • Joining the waitlist with a use case prioritizes your cohort.
  • Integration design favors continuous workflows over one-off calls.
  • Agencies and MSPs get multi-target and white-label hand-offs.

What the API will cover

  • DNS diagnostics — record lookups, propagation, reverse DNS.
  • SSL validation — chain, expiry, issuer, SAN coverage.
  • Blacklist scanning — IP and domain reputation across DNSBL zones.
  • Uptime + latency — HTTP probes, regional latency, packet loss.
  • VPN leak detection — IP, DNS, WebRTC, IPv6 exposure.
  • Reporting — generate branded diagnostics deliverables from API runs.

Designing for continuous workflows

The most useful diagnostics integrations are not single calls — they're recurring workflows: nightly SSL sweeps, hourly DNS drift checks, weekly blacklist audits. The API surface is shaped around those patterns, with stable run IDs that flow into the reporting layer.

Authentication and quotas

Access uses scoped API keys per workspace. Quotas are tracked per diagnostics surface rather than as a single "request budget," so a monitoring-heavy team doesn't compete with a reporting-heavy team for the same pool.

Webhook and report hand-offs

Each diagnostics run can emit a webhook with a compact payload — useful for routing alerts into existing on-call tooling. Reports can be generated server-side and returned as signed URLs for client hand-off.

Frequently asked questions

When does API access open?

We open access in waves, prioritized by integration interest. Joining the waitlist with your intended use case puts you in the relevant cohort.

Is there a sandbox?

Yes — sandbox endpoints will land first, with the same response shapes as production so you can build integrations before access is generally available.

Will pricing be metered or flat?

Operational plans will follow the diagnostics surfaces you use: DNS, SSL, blacklist, uptime, latency, and reporting. Pricing favors continuous monitoring workflows over one-off calls.

Can agencies share access across clients?

Yes. Agency and MSP plans support multi-target workflows and white-label reporting hand-offs.
