  title: Cronitor Telemetry API
  description: >-
    The Telemetry API is the core integration mechanism for recording job
    execution events (run, complete, fail, ok) to Cronitor monitors. Events
    are sent via GET, POST, or HEAD requests to the cronitor.link domain with
    the API key embedded in the URL path, enabling lightweight pings from any
    environment. Supports email integration and rate-limited event delivery.
