uptime-kuma-api is a Python wrapper for the Uptime Kuma Socket.IO API.

This package was developed to configure Uptime Kuma with Ansible. The Ansible collection can be found at https://github.com/lucasheld/ansible-uptime-kuma.

Python version 3.7+ is required.

Supported Uptime Kuma versions:

uptime-kuma-api is available on the Python Package Index (PyPI).

You can install it using pip:

pip install uptime-kuma-api

The API Reference is available on Read the Docs.

Once you have installed the python package, you can use it to communicate with an Uptime Kuma instance.

To do so, import UptimeKumaApi from the library and specify the Uptime Kuma server url (e.g. 'http://127.0.0.1:3001'), username and password to initialize the connection.

>>> from uptime_kuma_api import UptimeKumaApi, MonitorType
>>> api = UptimeKumaApi('INSERT_URL')
>>> api.login('INSERT_USERNAME', 'INSERT_PASSWORD')

Now you can call one of the existing methods of the instance. For example create a new monitor:

>>> result = api.add_monitor(type=MonitorType.HTTP, name="Google", url="https://google.com")
>>> print(result)
{'msg': 'Added Successfully.', 'monitorId': 1}

At the end, the connection to the API must be disconnected so that the program does not block.

>>> api.disconnect()

With a context manager, the disconnect method is called automatically:

from uptime_kuma_api import UptimeKumaApi

with UptimeKumaApi('INSERT_URL') as api:
    api.login('INSERT_USERNAME', 'INSERT_PASSWORD')
    api.add_monitor(
        type=MonitorType.HTTP,
        name="Google",
        url="https://google.com"
    )
