uptime-kuma-api
A python wrapper for the Uptime Kuma WebSocket API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, with caution. The package is stable and has no known vulnerabilities, but it has not been updated since 2023-09-26. Install it if you are running Uptime Kuma 1.21.3–1.23.2 and need programmatic API access; verify first that it works with your specific Uptime Kuma version. If you are running a newer Uptime Kuma release, check the repository for any unreleased fixes or consider whether the dormant status poses a risk for your use case.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.7 or later.
- Requires a running Uptime Kuma server instance accessible at the specified URL.
- High install friction: the package has no runtime dependencies but has not been updated since 2023-09-26.

What it is and what it does
uptime-kuma-api is a Python client library that wraps the Socket.IO API of Uptime Kuma, an open-source uptime monitoring system. It allows you to programmatically interact with an Uptime Kuma instance—creating monitors, managing alerts, querying status—without building raw WebSocket calls yourself. The package has no external runtime dependencies, making it lightweight to install.
The library is designed for automation workflows, particularly Ansible integration, and supports Uptime Kuma versions 1.17.0 through 1.23.2 (with version 1.2.1 of the wrapper). It requires Python 3.7 or later and works with current Python versions. The package is marked Production/Stable but maintenance is dormant, so compatibility with the latest Uptime Kuma releases is uncertain.
Use it for
- Automate monitor creation and configuration across multiple Uptime Kuma instances via Python scripts or Ansible playbooks.
- Build custom dashboards or reporting tools that pull uptime data directly from Uptime Kuma without manual API calls.
- Manage alert rules and monitor settings programmatically as part of infrastructure-as-code workflows.
- Integrate Uptime Kuma monitoring into larger Python applications or DevOps pipelines.
- Test and validate Uptime Kuma configurations by scripting monitor setup and teardown.
