Travo Documentation

Travo is an independent API health monitoring platform for developers. It continuously monitors popular developer APIs — measuring latency, error rates, and uptime — and notifies you when something breaks.

Unlike vendor status pages, Travo runs its own synthetic checks from the outside, giving you an objective view of whether an API is actually reachable and performing well from your users' perspective.

Getting Started

You don't need to install anything. Travo runs entirely in the browser.

Dashboard

The main dashboard gives you a summary of the current state across all monitored APIs.

Services Page

The Services page shows all 69+ monitored APIs with real-time status, latency, and 24h uptime.

Service detail page

Clicking any API card opens a detail page showing:

My Stack

My Stack lets you create a personal monitoring view of only the APIs your project depends on. This makes it easy to quickly diagnose whether a problem is in your own code or caused by an external service.

Automatic Stack Detection

Travo can analyze your GitHub repository and automatically identify which monitored APIs your project depends on.

How to use it

Supported dependency files

Incidents

Travo automatically detects incidents based on the data collected during synthetic checks. No manual reporting is needed.

Incident types

Incident lifecycle

Incidents are opened automatically when conditions are detected and closed automatically when the situation normalises. You can view active and historical incidents on the Incidents page or in the detail page of each individual API.

Alerts & Notifications

Configure notification channels in the Alerts page. Alerts are sent when a new incident is detected for any API.

HookTap Integration

HookTap is an iOS app that receives webhooks and turns them into instant iPhone push notifications, lock screen widgets, and Live Activities — with no account required.

Payload sent to HookTap

POST https://hooks.hooktap.me/webhook/<YOUR_HOOK_ID>

{
  "type": "push",
  "title": "🔴 Stripe",
  "body": "Stripe is down: last 3 consecutive checks failed."
}

Webhook Integration

Travo can POST to any HTTP endpoint when an incident is detected. Use this to connect to n8n, Zapier, Make, Slack, PagerDuty, or your own backend.

Payload format

POST <your-webhook-url>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "type": "incident",
  "api": "openai",
  "severity": "critical",
  "incidentType": "downtime",
  "message": "OpenAI is down: last 3 consecutive checks failed.",
  "startedAt": "2024-06-01T14:32:00.000Z"
}

Field reference

Status API

Travo exposes a read-only HTTP API that returns live monitoring data. No authentication is required for the public endpoints.

Code examples

JavaScript / TypeScript

const res = await fetch('https://app.gettravo.com/api-routes/status')
const apis = await res.json()

const stripe = apis.find(a => a.slug === 'stripe')
console.log(stripe.latestMetric.latencyMs) // e.g. 142
console.log(stripe.uptime24h)              // e.g. 99.93
console.log(stripe.activeIncident)         // null or { severity, type }

Python

import requests

res = requests.get('https://app.gettravo.com/api-routes/status')
apis = res.json()

stripe = next(a for a in apis if a['slug'] == 'stripe')
print(stripe['latestMetric']['latencyMs'])
print(stripe['uptime24h'])
print(stripe['activeIncident'])

Teams

Teams let you share a monitoring stack and alert configuration with colleagues. All team members see the same API status and receive the same notifications.
