The health endpoint provides a quick way to verify that:
  • The API is operational
  • Your API key is valid
  • Your authentication is working properly
This is typically the first endpoint you should test when integrating with the Buena.ai API.
This endpoint does not require any specific permissions and does not count heavily against rate limits.

Use Cases

​
1. Integration Testing

Use the health endpoint to verify your integration setup: 
async function verifySetup() {
  try {
    const response = await fetch("https://api.buena.ai/api/v2/health", {
      headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.BUENA_API_KEY },
    });

    if (response.ok) {
      const data = await response.json();
      console.log("✅ API integration working");
      console.log("📝 Permissions:", data.apiKey.permissions);
      return true;
    } else {
      console.error("❌ API integration failed");
      return false;
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("❌ Connection failed:", error.message);
    return false;
  }
}

​
2. Permission Verification

Check if your API key has the required permissions: 
def check_permissions(required_permissions):
    response = requests.get(
        'https://api.buena.ai/api/v2/health',
        headers={'x-api-key': os.getenv('BUENA_API_KEY')}
    )

    if response.status_code == 200:
        data = response.json()
        available = set(data['apiKey']['permissions'])
        required = set(required_permissions)

        if required.issubset(available):
            print("✅ All required permissions available")
            return True
        else:
            missing = required - available
            print(f"❌ Missing permissions: {missing}")
            return False
    else:
        print("❌ Health check failed")
        return False

# Example usage
check_permissions(['linkedin:schedule', 'leads:write'])

​
3. Monitoring and Alerting

Use for uptime monitoring and health checks: 
#!/bin/bash
# health-check.sh - Simple monitoring script

RESPONSE=$(curl -s -w "%{http_code}" -H "x-api-key: $BUENA_API_KEY" \
  https://api.buena.ai/api/v2/health)

HTTP_CODE="${RESPONSE: -3}"
BODY="${RESPONSE%???}"

if [ "$HTTP_CODE" -eq 200 ]; then
  STATUS=$(echo "$BODY" | jq -r '.status')
  if [ "$STATUS" = "healthy" ]; then
    echo "✅ API is healthy"
    exit 0
  else
    echo "⚠️ API status: $STATUS"
    exit 1
  fi
else
  echo "❌ API health check failed: HTTP $HTTP_CODE"
  exit 2
fi

Status Indicators

The status field in the response can be:
StatusDescriptionAction
healthyAll systems operationalContinue normal operations
degradedPartial functionalityMonitor closely, some features may be slower
maintenanceScheduled maintenanceRetry after maintenance window
Pro Tip: Set up automated health checks in your monitoring system to detect API issues early. We recommend checking every 5-10 minutes for production applications.
