hyperping

Python SDK for the Hyperping uptime monitoring and incident management API.

Installation

Requires Python 3.11+.

pip install hyperping
# or
uv add hyperping

Quick Start

from hyperping import HyperpingClient, IncidentCreate, LocalizedText

with HyperpingClient(api_key="sk_...") as client:
    # List all monitors
    monitors = client.list_monitors()
    for m in monitors:
        print(f"{m.name}: {'down' if m.down else 'up'}")

    # Open an incident
    incident = client.create_incident(
        IncidentCreate(
            title=LocalizedText(en="Service degradation"),
            text=LocalizedText(en="Investigating elevated error rates"),
            statuspages=["sp_your_uuid"],
        )
    )

    # Resolve it
    client.resolve_incident(incident.uuid, "All systems operational")

Async Client

An async-first client is available for use with asyncio and anyio-based frameworks:

from hyperping import AsyncHyperpingClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncHyperpingClient(api_key="sk_...") as client:
        monitors = await client.list_monitors()
        for m in monitors:
            print(f"{m.name}: {'down' if m.down else 'up'}")

        outage = await client.acknowledge_outage("out_uuid", message="On it")

The async client supports all the same resources, retry behaviour, and circuit breaker as the sync client. Use RetryConfig and CircuitBreakerConfig in exactly the same way.

An async MCP client is also available:

from hyperping import AsyncHyperpingMcpClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncHyperpingMcpClient(api_key="sk_...") as mcp:
        summary = await mcp.get_status_summary()
        members = await mcp.list_team_members()
        anomalies = await mcp.get_monitor_anomalies("mon_uuid")

Authentication

Pass your API key directly or via environment variable:

import os
from hyperping import HyperpingClient

# Constructor param
client = HyperpingClient(api_key="sk_...")

# From environment
client = HyperpingClient(api_key=os.environ["HYPERPING_API_KEY"])

Resources

Monitors

monitors = client.list_monitors()
monitor  = client.get_monitor("mon_uuid")
created  = client.create_monitor(MonitorCreate(name="API", url="https://api.example.com"))
client.pause_monitor("mon_uuid")
client.resume_monitor("mon_uuid")
client.delete_monitor("mon_uuid")

# Reports
reports = client.get_all_reports(period="30d")
report  = client.get_monitor_report("mon_uuid", period="7d")

Incidents

incidents = client.list_incidents()
incident  = client.get_incident("inci_uuid")
created   = client.create_incident(IncidentCreate(...))
client.add_incident_update("inci_uuid", AddIncidentUpdateRequest(...))
client.resolve_incident("inci_uuid", "Fixed")
client.delete_incident("inci_uuid")

Maintenance Windows

windows = client.list_maintenance()
window  = client.get_maintenance("mw_uuid")
created = client.create_maintenance(MaintenanceCreate(...))
client.update_maintenance("mw_uuid", MaintenanceUpdate(name="New name"))
client.delete_maintenance("mw_uuid")

# Helpers
active = client.get_active_maintenance()
in_maint = client.is_monitor_in_maintenance("mon_uuid")

Outages

outages = client.list_outages()              # auto-fetches all pages
outages = client.list_outages(page=0)        # single page

pages = client.list_status_pages(search="prod")    # auto-fetches all pages
pages = client.list_status_pages(page=0)            # single page
page  = client.get_status_page("sp_uuid")
created = client.create_status_page(StatusPageCreate(name="Prod", subdomain="prod-status"))
client.update_status_page("sp_uuid", StatusPageUpdate(name="Production Status"))
client.delete_status_page("sp_uuid")

# Subscribers

sub  = client.add_subscriber("sp_uuid", "user@example.com")
client.remove_subscriber("sp_uuid", sub.id)

MCP Client (on-call, alerts, anomalies, integrations)

Some Hyperping features are only available via the MCP server (JSON-RPC 2.0), not the REST API. Use HyperpingMcpClient for these:

from hyperping import HyperpingMcpClient

with HyperpingMcpClient(api_key="sk_...") as mcp:
    # Status & reporting
    summary = mcp.get_status_summary()
    mtta = mcp.get_monitor_mtta("mon_uuid")
    mttr = mcp.get_monitor_mttr("mon_uuid")
    response_time = mcp.get_monitor_response_time("mon_uuid")

    # On-call & escalation
    schedules = mcp.list_on_call_schedules()
    policies = mcp.list_escalation_policies()
    members = mcp.list_team_members()

    # Observability
    anomalies = mcp.get_monitor_anomalies("mon_uuid")
    logs = mcp.get_monitor_http_logs("mon_uuid")
    alerts = mcp.list_recent_alerts()

    # Integrations
    integrations = mcp.list_integrations()

    # Outage timeline & monitor search
    timeline = mcp.get_outage_timeline("out_uuid")
    results = mcp.search_monitors_by_name("api")

The MCP client uses the same API key as HyperpingClient. All methods return plain dicts/lists; use the exported Pydantic models (e.g., OnCallSchedule, EscalationPolicy) for validation if needed.

MCP rate limits and connection lifecycle

The Hyperping MCP server (https://api.hyperping.io/v1/mcp) is documented by Hyperping as stateless over HTTP and rate-limits per API key. The publicly documented limit is 300 requests per minute shared with the REST API (rate-limit docs), but the server also enforces a separate, undocumented cap on the initialize handshake (observed around 5/minute). Because every new HyperpingMcpClient instance must perform the MCP initialize handshake on its first call, instantiating the client in a hot path or running several short-lived processes against one key will trip this cap.

Operational guidance:

• Create one HyperpingMcpClient per process and reuse it. Do not instantiate it inside a loop. The first call performs the handshake; subsequent calls reuse it for the life of the client.
• Catch HyperpingRateLimitError and honour retry_after. Rate-limit signals arrive two ways: as HTTP 429 (with a standard Retry-After header) and as a JSON-RPC server error (code: -32000, HTTP 200) on initialize. Both surface as HyperpingRateLimitError with retry_after parsed from whichever signal was used. The status_code attribute is 429 or 200, matching the underlying signal; cool-off short-circuits preserve the originating status code so callers can disambiguate the two buckets.
• Use ensure_initialized() for startup health checks. Calling it once on service boot lets you fail fast if the key is already at the initialize cap, instead of failing on the first business call.
• Several workloads on one key collide on the initialize cap. A weekly cron, a watchdog daemon, and a developer running the CLI cannot all warm up the same API key inside one minute. Use one long-lived process per workload, or separate API keys per workload if your plan allows.
• After a rate-limit on initialize, the SDK latches a cool-off so that subsequent call_tool invocations on the same client fail fast with HyperpingRateLimitError (no extra HTTP traffic) until retry_after elapses. This prevents accidentally burning more slots from the bucket. The latch is per-HyperpingMcpClient instance and per-process; it does not coordinate across separate Python processes sharing the same API key, so multi-process setups still need the workload-separation advice above.

from hyperping import HyperpingMcpClient, HyperpingRateLimitError

mcp = HyperpingMcpClient(api_key="sk_...")
try:
    mcp.ensure_initialized()
except HyperpingRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"MCP cold-start rate-limited; retry in {e.retry_after}s")
    raise

summary = mcp.get_status_summary()

Healthchecks

checks = client.list_healthchecks()
check  = client.get_healthcheck("hc_uuid")
created = client.create_healthcheck(HealthcheckCreate(name="Nightly Job", period=86400, grace=3600))
client.update_healthcheck("hc_uuid", HealthcheckUpdate(grace=7200))
client.pause_healthcheck("hc_uuid")
client.resume_healthcheck("hc_uuid")
client.delete_healthcheck("hc_uuid")

Error Handling

from hyperping import (
    HyperpingAPIError,
    HyperpingAuthError,
    HyperpingNotFoundError,
    HyperpingRateLimitError,
    HyperpingValidationError,
)

try:
    monitor = client.get_monitor("mon_uuid")
except HyperpingNotFoundError:
    print("Monitor not found")
except HyperpingRateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except HyperpingAuthError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except HyperpingAPIError as e:
    print(f"API error [{e.status_code}]: {e.message}")
    print(f"Request ID: {e.request_id}")

Retries and Circuit Breaker

The SDK retries automatically on transient errors (5xx, 429) with exponential backoff and jitter. A circuit breaker prevents cascading failures.

from hyperping import HyperpingClient
from hyperping.client import RetryConfig, CircuitBreakerConfig

client = HyperpingClient(
    api_key="sk_...",
    retry_config=RetryConfig(
        max_retries=3,
        initial_delay=1.0,
        max_delay=30.0,
        backoff_factor=2.0,
    ),
    circuit_breaker_config=CircuitBreakerConfig(
        failure_threshold=5,
        recovery_timeout=60.0,
    ),
)

Per-endpoint circuit breaker

By default a single shared circuit breaker covers every request. If one endpoint flakes, every other endpoint is also blocked. Enable per_endpoint_circuit_breaker=True to keep one breaker per endpoint so a failing endpoint does not punish healthy ones:

client = HyperpingClient(
    api_key="sk_...",
    per_endpoint_circuit_breaker=True,
)

# Inspect state for an endpoint. The breaker key is canonicalised to the
# matching `Endpoint` prefix, so all sub-resource paths share a bucket:
from hyperping import CircuitState, Endpoint

state = client.circuit_breaker_state_for(str(Endpoint.MONITORS))
# /v1/monitors, /v1/monitors/mon_abc and /v1/monitors/mon_abc/reports all
# report the same state — they share the `/v1/monitors` breaker.
assert client.circuit_breaker_state_for(f"{Endpoint.MONITORS}/mon_abc") == state
assert state in {CircuitState.CLOSED, CircuitState.HALF_OPEN, CircuitState.OPEN}

If you need different bucketing (e.g. one breaker per resource UUID, or a single breaker per HTTP verb), pass a breaker_key_fn:

def per_resource(path: str) -> str:
    # one breaker per literal request path
    return path.split("?", 1)[0]

client = HyperpingClient(
    api_key="sk_...",
    per_endpoint_circuit_breaker=True,
    breaker_key_fn=per_resource,
)

State for any path is readable via client.circuit_breaker_state_for(path). In the default (single-breaker) mode this returns the shared breaker's state for any path, so the call is always safe regardless of the flag. The same options and method are available on AsyncHyperpingClient.

Type Safety

This package ships a py.typed marker (PEP 561) and is fully typed. Works out of the box with mypy and pyright.
