OpenAPI Specification

openapi: 3.2.0
info:
  title: Globalping Measurements API
  summary: The public Globalping API.
  description: 'The Globalping API allows you to monitor, debug, and benchmark your internet infrastructure using a globally distributed network of probes.

    The supported test types are ping, traceroute, MTR, DNS resolve, and HTTP.


    The API is public, free to use, and doesn''t require authentication, but it implements rate limits to ensure fair usage and reliability.

    Authenticated users get higher free limits and may run additional tests by spending credits.

    Sign up on the Globalping Dashboard to enjoy the higher limits.


    Root endpoint: https://api.globalping.io

    ## Client guidelines


    If you''re implementing an application that interacts with the API, please refer to the "Client guidelines"

    section in the description of each endpoint. This way, you can provide the best UX and reduce the likelihood

    of your app breaking in the future.


    ### General guidelines for non-browser-based apps:


    - Set a `User-Agent` header. We recommend that you follow the format and approach used here.

    - Set an `Accept-Encoding` header with a value of either `br` (preferred) or `gzip`, depending on what your client can support. Compression has a significant impact on the response size.

    - Implement ETag-based client-side caching using the `ETag`/`If-None-Match` headers when requesting the measurement status.'
