REST API · v1

Automate
your workspace.

JSON over HTTPS. Create monitors, start security scans, read alerts and costs — with a team API key from your dashboard.

Create an API key Read the docs
bash
curl https://api.securecheap.com/api/v1/monitors \
  -H "X-API-Key: sc_live_..."

01 / Authentication

One key. Team-scoped.

API keys are created by team admins in Settings → API keys. A key acts on its team only and cannot manage other keys.

Send the key

Use X-API-Key: sc_live_… or Authorization: Bearer sc_live_…

Plan access

API access is included on plans with the API access — see pricing.

Rate limits

Requests are rate limited per client. Limit headers (RateLimit-*) are returned on every response.
