Status badges

Embed a live status badge for a check in a README or dashboard. The badge is a small SVG that shows the check's current state.

Getting the snippet

Open a check in the dashboard and copy the ready-made Markdown under Status badge. It looks like this:

[![my-check](https://app.alwaysbeat.com/badge/<token>.svg)](https://app.alwaysbeat.com/checks/<check-id>)

The image URL renders the badge; the link takes viewers to the check page.

Badge URL

https://app.alwaysbeat.com/badge/<token>.svg

The <token> is an opaque, encrypted value that stands in for the check ID. This is deliberate: you can publish the badge in a public README without revealing the check's real ID (and therefore its ping URL).

Plain HTML

If you're not using Markdown:

<a href="https://app.alwaysbeat.com/checks/<check-id>">
  <img src="https://app.alwaysbeat.com/badge/<token>.svg" alt="check status">
</a>
Always reflects the current state The badge is generated on request, so it shows the check's status at the moment the image is loaded — up, down, or paused.
