Provider notes
- This connector covers the Uptime API (uptime.betterstack.com) only - the Telemetry/Logs API uses a different token and host and is not included
- Responses follow JSON:API: items are under data[] with attributes, pagination links under pagination
- Incidents use the newer /api/v3 path; monitors and heartbeats use /api/v2
