We’ve made another improvement to the StatusGator API based directly on customer feedback. Many teams are managing monitors programmatically, and one recurring request was the ability to fully manage monitor cleanup via API.
You can now delete all monitor types through the API.
What’s new
The API now supports deleting:
- Service monitors
- Website monitors
- Ping monitors
- Custom monitors
No matter what type of monitor you’re working with, you can now remove it without switching back to the UI.
Why this matters
This update makes it easier to automate monitor lifecycle management. It’s especially helpful if you’re:
- Creating monitors automatically for new services
- Cleaning up monitors when projects are archived
- Syncing monitors with internal systems
- Rebuilding boards from scripts
- Running scheduled cleanup jobs
If StatusGator is part of your operational tooling, you can now manage the full lifecycle of monitors directly through the API.
How it works
Each delete endpoint follows the same structure:
- Provide the
board_id - Provide the monitor
id - Receive a simple success response
You’ll find the new delete endpoints in the StatusGator API V3 documentation under each monitor type.
If you’re already using the API, this should fit naturally into your existing scripts and workflows.
Take a look at the updated API docs and try it out. And as always, if there are additional endpoints you’d like to see, we’re listening.
