WatchSumo website monitoring supports webhooks!

It gives you the ability to use it to notify your own API when a website goes down or is brought back up.

All you have to do is define the Webhook notification type like this:

That URL will be POSTed with JSON payload like this:

{
  "time_ms":1344889212237760.0,
  "events": [
    {
      "name":"website_up",
      "url":"http://www.mycompany.com"
    }
  ]
}
