# Creating a Monitor

## **Step 1: Create a Monitor**

To create a monitor, use the following `curl` command:

```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:3000/monitor' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "projectId": "DefaultProject",
  "network": "Ethereum",
  "condition": {
    "native": true,
    "internal": false,
    "erc721": true,
    "erc20": true,
    "specific": false,
    "cryptos": {
      "0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174": true
    }
  },
  "notification": {
    "method": "Webhook",
    "url": "https://example.com",
    "authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA==",
    "secretToken": ""
  },
  "type": "all",
  "note": "My crypitor monitoring",
  "tags": [
      "Hello",
      "Crypitor"
  ],
  "name": "My First Monitor"
}'

```

Response:

On successful creation, the response will include details about the monitor:

```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "OK",
  "data": {
    "projectId": "DefaultProject",
    "monitorId": "mo_AAGBUxOjyqbCYjt8",
    "network": "Ethereum",
    "name": "My First Monitor",
    "condition": {
      "native": true,
      "internal": false,
      "erc721": true,
      "erc20": true,
      "specific": false,
      "cryptos": {
        "0x2791Bca1f2de4661ED88A30C99A7a9449Aa84174": true
      }
    },
    "notification": {
      "method": "Webhook",
      "url": "https://example.com",
      "authorization": "Basic dGVzdHVzZXJuYW1lOnRlc3RwYXNzd29yZA=="
    },
    "type": "all",
    "note": "My crypitor monitoring",
    "tags": [
      "Hello",
      "Crypitor"
    ],
    "dateCreated": "2024-06-11T08:19:17.975Z",
    "disabled": false,
    "addressCount": 0,
    "webhookCount": 0
  }
}
```

## Step 2: Add an Address to the Monitor

After creating the monitor, you can add addresses to it using the monitor ID from the previous response. Use the following `curl` command to add an address:

```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'http://localhost:3002/address' \
  -H 'accept: application/json' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "monitorId": "mo_AAGBUxOjyqbCYjt8",
  "addresses": [
    "0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2"
  ]
}'
```

Response

```json
{
  "code": 0,
  "message": "OK",
  "data": [
    {
      "monitorId": "mo_AAGBUxOjyqbCYjt8",
      "address": "0xc02aaa39b223fe8d0a0e5c4f27ead9083c756cc2",
      "network": "Ethereum",
      "dateCreated": "2024-06-11T08:24:24.691Z"
    }
  ]
}
```
