Developer Docs

How it works

1. Create an inbox in the dashboard
2. Copy your unique URL: https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/hooks/your-slug
3. Send any HTTP request to it
4. See the request details instantly

Example

curl -X POST https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/hooks/your-slug \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"event": "test", "data": {"foo": "bar"}}'

How it works

1. Create a monitor with expected interval (e.g., every 60 minutes)
2. Add a ping to your cron job: curl https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/ping/your-slug
3. If we don't get a ping in time, you get an email

Example crontab

# Run backup every hour, ping when done
0 * * * * /scripts/backup.sh && curl -s https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/ping/backup-job

How it works

1. Add your URL and expected status code (usually 200)
2. Set check interval (minimum 30 min on free plan)
3. We check it automatically and track response times
4. Status changes? You get an email

What we check

• Status code matches expected
• Response time (timeout: 30 seconds)
• SSL certificate validity

How it works

1. Create a log stream
2. POST JSON to your ingest URL
3. View logs in the dashboard, filter by level

Request format

curl -X POST https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/log/your-slug \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "level": "info",
    "message": "User signed up",
    "data": {"userId": 123, "email": "[email protected]"}
  }'

Log levels

debug, info, warn, error, fatal

How it works

1. Create a project
2. Add flags (e.g., dark_mode, new_checkout)
3. Toggle them on/off in the dashboard
4. Fetch from your app using the public endpoint

Fetch all flags

curl https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/flags/your-project-slug

# Response:
{"dark_mode": true, "new_checkout": false, "beta_features": true}

Fetch single flag

curl https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/flags/your-project-slug/dark_mode

# Response:
{"key": "dark_mode", "enabled": true}

How it works

1. Create a vault - you'll get an API key (save it!)
2. Add secrets (key-value pairs)
3. Fetch secrets using the API key

Fetch all secrets

curl https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/secrets/your-vault-slug \
  -H "X-Api-Key: dvt_your_api_key"

# Response:
{"DATABASE_URL": "postgres://...", "API_KEY": "sk_live_..."}

Fetch single secret

curl https://devtools-api.shawnunderwood.com/secrets/your-vault-slug/DATABASE_URL \
  -H "X-Api-Key: dvt_your_api_key"

# Response:
{"key": "DATABASE_URL", "value": "postgres://..."}
