Firstly thank you for this great tool you have created.
Currently, I don't think we have the functionality that would allow users to check the status of their API endpoints something like Datadog synthetics but just a basic one for now. Something like https://github.com/esirK/APIHealthchecks/blob/master/main.py
Feel free to close the issue if the tool was not designed to have such checks in mind.

Thanks for the suggestion @esirK!

At least for now, my plan is to keep Healthchecks focused on doing one thing and doing it well – dead man's switch style monitoring (aka "passive monitoring", "heartbeat monitoring"). Luckily, there are many active monitoring options to choose from already!
