Example code to use the Pingdom API

pingdom.php

<?php
 
      // Init cURL
    $curl = curl_init();
      // Set target URL
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://api.pingdom.com/api/2.0/checks");
      // Set the desired HTTP method (GET is default, see the documentation for each request)
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
      // Set user (email) and password
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "johndoe@example.com:password");
      // Add a http header containing the application key (see the Authentication section of this document)
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array("App-Key: zoent8w9cbt810rsdkweir23vcxb87zrt5541"));
      // Ask cURL to return the result as a string
    curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
 
      // Execute the request and decode the json result into an associative array
    $response = json_decode(curl_exec($curl),true);
 
      // Check for errors returned by the API
    if (isset($response['error'])) {
        print "Error: " . $response['error']['errormessage'] . "\n";
        exit;
    }
 
      // Fetch the list of checks from the response
    $checksList = $response['checks'];
      // Print the names and statuses of all checks in the list
    foreach ($checksList as $check) {
        print $check['name'] . " is " . $check['status'] . "\n";
    }
 
?>
