# StatusCake Provider

The StatusCake provider allows Terraform to create and configure tests in [StatusCake](https://www.statuscake.com/). StatusCake is a tool that helps to
monitor the uptime of your service via a network of monitoring centers throughout the world

The provider configuration block accepts the following arguments:

* ``username`` - (Required) The username for the statuscake account. May alternatively be set via the
  ``STATUSCAKE_USERNAME`` environment variable.

* ``apikey`` - (Required) The API auth token to use when making requests. May alternatively
  be set via the ``STATUSCAKE_APIKEY`` environment variable.

Use the navigation to the left to read about the available resources.
