# API Uptime Monitor
This cron job sends a request to an API or website of your choice and will alert you if they are down.
#### Time Frequence
The default template will execute once a day. You can adjust the timing under `Conditions` in the top action block if you want this job to be executed in higher frequency.
#### HTTP request
Replace `https://www.google.com` with the API or website domain you want to check for. Don't forget to specify your authentication credentials in your request configuration in case you need any.
#### Check Status code
The default template uses an [If Condition](/actions/flow-control/if) with syntax:
* `{{steps.get-status-code.outputs.Status}} = 200`
to see if the returned status code is 200.
You can customize this step by either checking for a different status code or using a [Switch Condition](/actions/flow-control/switch) if you want to check on a more granular level.
#### Alert
In case the status code is anything but a 200 code, you will receive a notification through [Slack](/actions/integrations/slack). You can change this or add additional communication platforms like [Email](/actions/native-action/email-smtp) or [SMS](/actions/integrations/twilio-sms)
