# Public API

Source: https://instatus.com/help/status-page/notifications/api

Every status page can expose a small read-only API so customers can pull your current status into their own dashboards, scripts or health checks.

## Enable the public API

Login to Instatus from [instatus.com/login](https://dashboard.instatus.com/login) then choose your status page.

1. Go to **Status page → Notifications**
2. Turn on **API**
3. Click **Save**

**API** will now show up in the **Get updates** menu on your status page, linking to a reference page that documents the endpoints with live responses from your own page.

## Endpoints

```bash
your-status-page-url/v3/summary.json
your-status-page-url/v3/components.json
```

`summary.json` returns the overall page status plus any active incidents and maintenances. `components.json` returns each component and its current status.

See [Publicly available data](https://instatus.com/help/api/public-data) for the response format and the list of possible statuses.
