Interval · object
required

Discriminated union describing how the monitor is scheduled. Only interval is supported today; cron and exact_time are reserved for future use.

status
enum<string>
required

Monitor lifecycle status. failed means the most recent run failed (see the monitor's last_error); failed monitors keep running on schedule and flip back to active on the next successful run. Monitors are auto-paused after repeated consecutive failures or insufficient-credit skips; resume by PATCHing status to active.

Available options:
active,
paused,
failed

string<date-time> | null
next_run_at

last_error
object | null

Error from the most recent failed run; null when the last run succeeded.

tags
string[]

User-defined tags for grouping and filtering monitors and their changes. Duplicates are removed.

Maximum array length: 20
Required string length: 1 - 50
Example:
baseline
Page baseline · object

Current baseline: the last observed value the monitor compares new snapshots against. Its shape follows target.type (page/sitemap/extract). Only populated on GET /monitors/{monitor_id}; null until the first baseline run completes (and after a target or change_detection update, which resets the baseline).
