Set and delete downtime with REST API

Yes, you need to use a different url for downtimes:

url = https://monitoring.server/master/check_mk/view.py

Then you need to figure out if a downtime already set, maybe something like this:

params = {
    '_username': 'automation',
    '_secret': 'secret',
    'output_format': 'JSON',
    'host_regex': 'host01',
    'view_name': 'downtimes'
}
response = requests.get(url, params=params).txt
response_json = json.loads(response)
if len(response_json) == 1:
    host_is_down = False
else:
    host_is_down = True

If no downtime is set, you can set one:

params = {
     '_do_confirm': 'yes',
     '_do_actions': 'yes',
     '_transid': '-1',
     '_username': 'automation',
     '_secret': 'secret',
     'output_format': 'JSON'
     'view_name': 'host',
     'host': 'host01',
     '_on_hosts': 'on',
     '_downrange__next_year': 'This+year',
     '_down_comment': 'my comment'
}

response = requests.post(url, params=params)

I hope this help
