# openstatus API The openstatus API is a typed, JSON-over-HTTP layer powered by ConnectRPC. The base URL is `https://api.openstatus.dev`. Every action the dashboard performs is reachable from the API — same workspace, same audit log, same single API key. ## Auth Send the API key as the `x-openstatus-key` header. Generate one in **Settings → API Tokens**. ``` x-openstatus-key: os_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ``` ## Example: list monitors ```bash curl https://api.openstatus.dev/rpc/openstatus.v1.MonitorService/ListMonitors \ -X POST \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -H "x-openstatus-key: $OPENSTATUS_API_KEY" \ -d '{}' ``` ConnectRPC accepts both JSON and protobuf. POST is required even for read operations. ## Schema - OpenAPI explorer (machine-readable description): <https://api.openstatus.dev/openapi> - Reference docs: <https://www.openstatus.dev/docs> ## SDKs - Node SDK: <https://jsr.io/@openstatus/sdk-node> - Terraform provider: see <https://www.openstatus.dev/tooling> ## When to use this vs MCP - API → programmatic integrations, CI/CD, scripts. - MCP server (`openstatus-mcp` skill) → chat-shaped AI clients that need to read and update status pages.
