This page demonstrates usage examples of PingDock in Python language.

REST API

You can use REST API to interact with PingDock. Import requests library to send POST requests.

import requests

def ping_dock(msg: str) -> None:
    url = 'https://api.pingdock.io/ping'
    json_data = {
          'dock_id': '<dock_id>', 
          'secret_key': '<secret_key>',
          'msg': f'{msg}'}
    response = requests.post(url, json=json_data)

Webhook

Use webhook alternative in Python or any other service that supports it. Import requests library to send POST requests.

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

# Target URL (webhook endpoint)
url = "https://api.pingdock.io/webhook"

# JSON body
payload = {
    "msg": "<Your message>"
}

# Basic Auth credentials
username = "<dock_id>"
password = "<secret_key>"

# Send POST request with JSON and Basic Auth
response = requests.post(
    url,
    json=payload,  # automatically encodes to JSON and sets Content-Type: application/json
    auth=HTTPBasicAuth(username, password)
)
