Using Alwaysbeat
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:
[](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.
