The WatchMouse API makes it possible for developers to access the data and functions of the WatchMouse services.
Some examples uses of the API:

• Access your WatchMouse account and set up, activate, modify, or remove site monitoring rules
• Perform a check of your site from one of the worldwide monitoring stations of WatchMouse
• Schedule a Vulnerability Scan for your server
• Send an SMS from one of the many SMS gateways of WatchMouse
  
• Perform a traceroute from one of these stations to an IP address of your choice. The just-trace site was build using these services.
• Find where a certain host is located (IP to location)
• Compute how much 10 Euro is in US Dollars.
• ...
  

For most calls you will need a WatchMouse account (or an account with one of our partners) and the number of calls is rate-limited on hourly or daily basis, but some calls can be used anonymously too. See the Access to the API chapter for details.
