Action Summary

endpulse is a command-line tool for performing health checks on multiple API endpoints simultaneously. It automates tasks like verifying response status, monitoring SSL certificate expiry, asserting response content, and generating alerts for failures. Designed for CI/CD and lightweight monitoring, it provides capabilities such as live terminal updates, YAML-based configuration, webhook notifications, and formatted output, offering a convenient alternative to heavier monitoring tools or manual checks.
