Best way to check Emby server - Uptime Kuma healthcheck

[spongebob69 10]

Hi,

I want to use Uptime Kuma to monitor my Emby server. I think the best way is to check '/emby/system/info/public" endpoint, but every time I call it from Uptime kuma I get 403.

Is the other way to do Emby server

Try a GET on /System/Ping.

EDIT: Also you don't need /emby at the beginning of your path that's probably why you're getting the 403 in the first place.

EDIT2: Cannot reproduce a 403 even with /emby and even trying a POST method (which shouldn't be valid anyway). Could get some 404 errors though.

Try a GET on /System/Ping.

This is the best and lightest approach as this endpoint won't be doing any work.
