Documented steps
Authenticate with 'Authorization: Bearer fc-...'.
PATCH https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/monitor/{monitorId} with a partial body to update fields — e.g. {"schedule":{"text":"every 6 hours"}} or {"status":"paused"}.
To pause recurring checks, send {"status":"paused"}; to resume, send {"status":"active"}.
Update the schedule by replacing the schedule object (cron or text + timezone); update targets, webhook, notification, name, or judgeEnabled as needed.
Verify with GET /v2/monitor/{monitorId} that status/schedule/nextRunAt reflect the change.
Known gotchas
Update is a partial PATCH — include at least one field; unchanged fields are preserved.
status only accepts 'active' or 'paused' on update; 'deleted' is only the result of the DELETE endpoint.
Changing schedule.text/cron re-normalizes; cron interval cannot be faster than every 5 minutes.
