What is GETPing?
GETPing is an API that sends an email notification when invoked with a GET request over HTTPS using API key authentication.
It is useful for developers integrating basic notification triggers into monitoring scripts or dev-tool workflows.
What you can build with GETPing
Server uptime monitoring
Developers call the endpoint from cron jobs or monitoring scripts to send email alerts when a server stops responding.
Form submission notifications
Web apps trigger an email to admins whenever a contact or signup form is submitted by appending the API key to a GET request.
CI/CD pipeline alerts
Build scripts invoke GETPing on test failures or deployment issues to notify the team without adding email libraries to the codebase.
