Introduction

The Where's It Up? API is a REST-ish interface working primarily in JSON that enables you to confirm that your systems are working and globally available.

The general flow is simple: you POST a request to our server, our system performs the tests, obtains the responses, and bundles it all together into a report, which it returns in JSON.

Entry Point

The base URL for the API is https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4. All endpoints are relative to the base.

Versions

The base URL reflects the current API version (in this case, /v4 indicates API version 4). The API version will only change when there are backwards-incompatible modifications to the API resource structure, input formats, or output formats. Additions of new features and tweaks to existing features will not affect the API version. For example, adding a new property to the dig output summary would not affect the version number. On the other hand, renaming to existing answer property to response or return would. (If you are familiar with the Semantic Versioning standard, think of the API version number as a semantic "major" version.)

Authentication

To authenticate, use this code:

# with curl, pass the auth header with each request
curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4" \
  -H "Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN"

<?php

// The API client will set up the header for you
$api = new wiuphp\API('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_TOKEN');

# The API client will set up the header for you
api = wiuppy.WIU('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_TOKEN');

The API will assign you a unique client ID and token as soon as you sign up. You will continue to have access in perpetuity, though your ability to submit new jobs will vanish if you run out of credit.

You must include your client ID and token with every API request in an HTTP Auth header. It should look like this:

Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN

Checking your credits

To check how many credits you have, use this code:

curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/credits" \
  -H "Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN"

Sample response

{
    "current": 300000,
    "used": {
        "today": 100,
        "yesterday": 100,
        "week": 200
    }
}

As long as you have credits in your account (and you have not exceeded the rate limit), you can send tests through the API. You can use the credits API endpoint to check how many API credits you have, and how many you have used recently.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`current`	integer	Number of credits currently available in your WIU API account
`used`	object	Summary of recent credit usage (see below)

Usage Data

Name	Type	Description
`today`	integer	Credits used on the current calendar day
`yesterday`	integer	Credits used on the previous calendar day
`week`	integer	Credits used in the previous 7 days, including today

Rate Limit

To check your current rate limit status, check the headers from any authenticated request:

curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/credits" \
  -H "Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN"

Sample headers

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 28 Apr 2017 09:12:59 GMT
X-RateLimit-Limit: 2500
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 2500
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1493370810
Content-Length: 58
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

You may request up to 2,500 tests every two minutes. One test means one of the individual services available in the API run on one server. For example, a job requesting the ping and http tests on newyork, london, and tokyo includes six tests: ping and http on three servers.

Each response to an authenticated API request will include three headers that describe your current rate limit status:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	The maximum number of tests allowed in a two-minute period
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	The number of tests you can request in the current rate limit window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	The time the current rate limit window resets (in epoch time)

If you request more than 2,500 tests in a two-minute period, the API will respond with HTTP status 429.

Sources

Sample request

# get all available servers
curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/sources" \
  -H "Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN"

# get servers in Canada and Brazil
curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/sources?countries=canada,brazil" \
  -H "Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN"

<?php

$api = new wiuphp\API('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_TOKEN');
$api->servers();

api = wiuppy.WIU('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_TOKEN');
api.servers()

Sample response

{
    "sources": [
        {
            "id": "14",
            "name": "boston",
            "title": "Boston",
            "location": "Somerville",
            "state": "Massachusetts",
            "country": "United States",
            "latitude": "42.3583",
            "longitude": "-71.0603",
            "continent_name": "North America"
        },
        {
            "id": "15",
            "name": "miami",
            "title": "Miami",
            "location": "Miami",
            "state": "Florida",
            "country": "United States",
            "latitude": "25.7650",
            "longitude": "-80.2000",
            "continent_name": "North America"
        }
    ]
}

Using sources, you can retrieve a list of source cities. sources provides the city's name, detailed location, latitude, longitude, and so on.

The name field lists the city the server resides in, while the location field specifies its precise location. This enables us to use more readily identifiable names for our locations, while still providing detailed location information. For example, our server in Amsterdam resides in Haarlemmermeer, a suburb. You probably don't know where Haarlemmermeer is, but can confidently state that Amsterdam is in the Netherlands.

The list of source locations rarely changes: most updates are simple additions to the end of the list, as the network grows. For the convenience of our WonderProxy customers, who access servers directly, we really do seek to minimize change.

You can filter the list of source cities by country with the countries query parameter.

HTTP Request

GET https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/sources

Query parameters

Parameter	Description
countries	An array or comma-separated list of the countries to include in the results.

The API provides nine individual tests. You build a job from any combination of tests run against a single URI on any combination of sources (servers). Once you submit a job, the API will immediately provide a unique identifier for the job results, and start running each test on each server in the background.

You can submit jobs as JSON (with the application/json content type) or as a form (with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type).

Use the options parameter to specify job or test settings.

HTTP Request

POST https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/jobs

HTTP Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description	Sample (JSON)
`uri`	Yes	string	The URI to query	`"https://google.com"`
`tests`	Yes	array	One or more of the available test types	`["http", "ping"]`
`sources`	Yes	array	One or more of the available city names	`["denver", "london"]`
`options`	No	object	Modifiers for the request

Job options

Specify global job settings as properties of the options parameter:

{ options: { expire_after: "1 week" }}

Specify test-specific settings under the test "namespace":

{ options: { http: { method: "GET" }}}

The test-specific sections list the individual test options.

Parameter	Type	Default	Description	Sample (JSON)
`expire_after`	string	`"1 day"`	Relative time the job will be cleared from our system	`"3 hours"`
`timeout`	number	`180`	Seconds an individual test may run before it times out and exits	`15`

Retrieving job results

Sample request

curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/jobs/YOUR_JOB_ID" \
    -H "Auth: Bearer YOUR_CLIENT_ID YOUR_TOKEN"

<?php

$api = new wiuphp\API('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_TOKEN');
$results = $api->retrieve($jobID);

api = wiuppy.WIU('YOUR_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_TOKEN');

# with the raw API
results = api.retrieve(job_id)

# polling with the Job wrapper
job = wiuppy.Job(api)
job.id = job_id
results = job.retrieve(poll=True).results

Sample response

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 01 Mar 2015 21:48:20 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Debian)
X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
Content-Length: 253
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

{
    "request": {
        "easy_time": "Sun, 01 Mar 2015 14:47:55 -0700",
        "expiry": {
            "sec": 1425332875,

        "in_progress": {
            "<source>": {
                "<test>": "in progress"
            }
        }
    }
}

You can only retrieve reports for jobs that your account submitted. The jobID returned when the job was submitted identifies the job itself, and the Location header provides the path to the raw results. The source location and test type affect how long the job will take to perform. A traceroute from South Africa to Vancouver, for example, may take some time.

Job reports include both raw and parsed output, as well as metadata for the job request itself. The report contains two sections: the request section, containing the job metadata, and the response section, detailing the results of each test.

When you fetch a job, the API returns as much of the answer as possible at that time. If no information is available, the in_progress section of the response will contain the pending tests. Depending on the test requested and the server response, some pieces of information (e.g. contentLength, responseCode) may not be available.

The error section of the response lists any failed or timed-out tests.

HTTP Request

GET https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/jobs

Query Parameters

Parameter	Description
limit	The number of jobs to retrieve

Tests

The API provides nine individual tests:

Test	Description	Credit cost
`host`	Perform a DNS `host` lookup	1
`dig`	Perform a DNS `dig` lookup	1
`ping`	Ping a host	2
`nametime`	Perform a `nametime` request and return detailed DNS resolution timing details	2
`http`	Perform an HTTP `GET` or `HEAD` request with `curl` and return the HTTP status code and headers	2
`fast`	Download all the resources on a page and return detailed pagespeed information	4
`trace`	Perform a `traceroute` lookup	5
`edge`	Download a large file and return detailed timing information	7
`shot`	Take a screenshot of a URI	10

You can create API jobs with any combination of tests and any combination of sources.

Test timeouts

By default, if one of your tests runs more than 180 seconds, our system considers it to be "timed out". The error property of the job response lists any timed-out tests. See Retrieving job results for more information.

You can modify the timeout with a global timeout setting (see Creating jobs), or with a timeout setting in your individual test options. Test-level timeouts override the global timeout.

Performs a dig lookup of the provided domain.

If the target domain is an IP address, dig will automatically switch to reverse-lookup mode. In that case, the answer will be a PTR record with a hostname property, instead of an A record with an ip property.

`dig` options

Option	Required	Type	Default	Description	Sample (JSON)

Performs an HTTP request against the specified URI with curl:

curl --silent --location --max-redirs 2 --verbose --trace-time

The http test response includes the full HTTP response headers and the response body. The API follows a maximum of 2 Location redirects by default, and returns the full request and response headers for each. (You can adjust the number of Location redirects to follow with the max-redirects option, below.)

`http` options

Option	Required	Type	Default	Description	Sample (JSON)
`method`	No	string	`"HEAD"`	HTTP method to use (`GET` or `HEAD`)	`"GET"`
`headers`	No	array of strings		One or more headers to include with the request	`["X-Custom: Custom header values"]`
`timeout`	No	integer	Global `timeout` setting	Seconds until the request times out and exits. Corresponds to the `--max-time` command-line flag.	`30`
`max-redirects`	No	integer	2	Number of HTTP redirects this request will follow. Maximum of 10.	`5`

HTTP Timestamps

The timings property contains a series of UTC timestamps marking specific events in the request.

Name	Description
`start`	Request initialized, before the connection is established
`connected`	Connection established
`sent`	Request headers sent
`first`	First response header received
`last`	All response headers received
`close`	Connection complete

HTTP Summary Fields

The summary object includes a subset of the following properties.

Name	Type	Description
`location`	string	Target for redirects
`contentLength`	string	Size of the response in bytes (i.e. the `Content-Length` header)
`responseCode`	integer	HTTP status code
`responseStatus`	string	Standard description for the HTTP status code
`serverIP`	string	IP address hosting the URI
`timingConnected`	string	Elapsed seconds from `start` (in the `timings` section, above) to `connected`
`timingRequest`	string	Elapsed seconds from `start` to `last`
`timingResponse`	string	Elapsed seconds from `start` to `first`
`timingTransfer`	string	Elapsed seconds from `start` to `close`

The timing* properties may be -1 if the request failed.

fast uses PhantomJS to load the Job URI. fastrequests return the page load time and detailed information about each requested resource.

By default, fast builds its page load details using raw PhantomJS data types (using a script similar to netlog.js). fast may instead return the URL for an HTTP Archive (HAR) built with the 1.2 specification. fast returns either netlog-style output (the default) or a HAR file URL: you cannot request both output types.

`fast` options

Option	Required	Type	Default	Description	Sample (JSON)
`output-type`	No	string	`netlog`	Type of output to return. `netlog` returns page load details in the `raw` property of the response (see below). `har` returns the URL to a HAR file.	`"har"`
`timeout`	No	integer	Global `timeout` setting	Seconds until the test times out and exits.	`30`

`fast` Summary

The summary property of the response contains high-level information covering the whole request.

Name	Type	Description
`status`	string	`success` or `fail`, depending on the request result
`time`	integer	Request/response time in milliseconds

`fast` Raw Output

The raw property of the fast response contains page load details, as well as the summary details above.

Name	Type	Description
`status`	string	`success` or `fail`, depending on the request result
`time`	integer	Request/response time in milliseconds
`details`	array of objects	`netlog`-style output only: Page load details and timing information for each resource on the page.
`har_file`	string	`har` output only: URL to a HAR file containing HTTP transaction details

`fast` Details

If you requested netlog-style output, the raw.details property is an array of objects, each containing low-level information about an individual resource loaded on the target page.

Name	Type	Description
`id`	integer	Sequence number of the requested resource
`url`	string	URL of the requested resource
`time`	string	ISO 8601 UTC timestamp
`headers`	array of objects	HTTP headers received from the requested resource
`bodySize`	integer	Size in bytes of the received content decompressed (entire content or chunk content). (Note that this value may not be consistent.)
`contentType`	string	Value of the `Content-Type` header, if specified
`redirectURL`	string	Value of the `Location` header, if specified
`stage`	string	`start` or `end`, for chunked requests
`status`	integer	HTTP status code
`statusText`	string	HTTP status text
`tsend`	integer	Response time as a Unix timestamp
`tsstart`	integer	Request time as a Unix timestamp

Performs a traceroute call against the provided domain.

`trace` options

Option	Required	Type	Default	Description	Sample (JSON)
`max-hops`	No	integer	50	Maximum number of hops. Corresponds to the `-m` command-line flag.	`20`
`wait-time`	No	integer	5	Seconds to wait for a response to a probe. Corresponds to the `-w` command-line flag.	`3`
`timeout`	No	integer	Global `timeout` setting	Seconds until the test times out and exits.	`30`

Trace Summary Fields

The trace summary is an array of parsed traceroute output lines. Each line is an array that represents the the response from a single host.

The first element is the host.
The following three elements are the round trip times for each probe. Probes that did not receive a response from the host are represented as —.
The fifth element is deprecated.
The sixth element is the TTL.

If a TTL received responses from two or three hosts, that TTL will have two or three entries in the summary.

If a TTL received no responses, the summary will include the entry with an asterisk (*) for the host. Thesummary will not include no-response TTLs that trail at the end of the output.

`shot` options

Option	Required	Type	Default	Description	Sample (JSON)
`size`	No	object	`{ "width": 800, "height": 600 }`	Width and height (in pixels) of the viewport (i.e. the browser window size) for the screenshot.	`{ "width": 1024, "height": 768 }`
`resize`	No	string	None	Scaling percentage for the optional thumbnail. For example, a screenshot `width` of 1000 and a `resize` of 20% would result in a 200px-wide thumbnail. If `resize` is not specified, the API will not create a thumbnail.	`"33%"`
`timeout`	No	integer	Global `timeout` setting	Seconds until the test times out and exits.	`30`

Shot Summary Fields

Name	Type	Description
`full`	string (URL)	URL for the full-resolution screenshot
`thumb`	string (URL)	URL for the resized screenshot

Errors

Sample invalid request

curl -i "https://staging-api.wheresitup.com/v4/sources" \
  -h "Auth: Bearer cats dogs"

Sample error response

HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 05:27:40 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Debian)
Content-Length: 39
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8

{ "message": "Request not authenticated" }

When the API encounters a problem, it returns one of the HTTP status codes listed below. In general, status codes in the 400 range indicate a problem with your request, while codes in the 500 range indicate a problem with the API.

If there is an error message, it will be in the message property of the response.

Status code	Name	Description
400	Bad Request	The API did not understand your request.
402	Payment Required	You do not have enough API credits for your request.
403	Forbidden	Your credentials are not authorized.
404	Not Found	The resource could not be found.
405	Method Not Allowed	The HTTP method you used (e.g. `PUT`, `POST`) is not valid for the resource you requested.
429	Too Many Requests	You have exceeded the rate limit.
500	Internal Server Error	There was a problem on the API side.
503	Service Unavailable	The API is down for maintenance.

    for (server, tests)
    in job.results['response']['complete'].items()
]:
    print('The average ping time from ' + server + ' is ' + average_time + ' milliseconds')

This example code creates a ping test on the denver and london servers, waits for it to complete, and prints out the summaries.

Changelog

April 2017

General

We added rate limiting for tests, to help communicate the capabilities of our system and ensure consistent test behavior for all our users.

March 2017

`trace`

The summary includes the TTL for each line.
TTLs with no reponse or partial responses are no longer excluded from the summary.

`http`

A new max-redirects option controls how many Location header redirects the http test can follow.

August 2016

`dig`

dig learned to automatically perform reverse lookups for IP addresses.

June 2016

`fast`

A new output-type option controls the output format for fast results.
fast can now format its results using the HTTP Archive 1.2 specification.

`dig`

Results includeAUTHORITY and ADDITIONAL sections.
Test error handling is more consistent.

`nametime`

Hostnames (e.g. ns1.my-name-server.com:53) are acceptable as the nameserver.

April 2016

General

We changed how test timeouts work in an attempt to make test behavior more predictable. Tests no longer terminate after 30 seconds of "silence" (i.e. 30 seconds of producing no output). Instead, a newtimeout option controls the maximum time an individual test may run. timeout defaults to 180 seconds, and may be set both globally and on a per-test basis.

`dig`

A new query-time option controls the timeout for individual DNS queries.

`ping`

A new interval option sets the time to wait in between sending packets.
A new count option controls how many pings to send.
The summarized ping data includes two new properties:
- requested is the number of pings requested
- timedout is true if the ping test timed out before the requested pings were transmitted

`nametime`

A new times-to-check option controls the number of lookups to use for the average values.

`http`

Instead of timing out after 10 seconds, http uses the timeout option to set curl's --max-time flag.

`trace`

A new max-hops option sets the maximum number of hops that traceroute will probe.
A new wait-time options sets the maximum time traceroute will wait for a response to a probe.
