how to automate api status code validation with an easy-to-use checker

the problem

when developing or maintaining apps, ensuring your endpoints return the correct status codes is a hassle. checking manually is time-consuming and error-prone, especially with multiple endpoints.

the solution

with the status-code-checker api, you can automate status code validation effortlessly. here's a quick example:

curl -i https://status-code-checker.apimesh.xyz/check?url=https://example.com

# sample-output
{ "status_code": 200, "url": "https://example.com" }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

how it works

the api accepts a target url as a parameter, performs an HTTP request, and returns the status code along with the original url. it simplifies integration by providing a straightforward json response.

try it now

test it with our free preview endpoint: https://status-code-checker.apimesh.xyz/preview?url=https://example.com. pricing is $0.005 per check, making it affordable for continuous monitoring or automated tests.
