What type of access does the Dynatrace API - syntheticLocations.read provide?

The Dynatrace API endpoint for syntheticLocations.read is designed to provide access to GET requests related to synthetic nodes. This allows users to retrieve information about the synthetic monitoring locations that are configured in Dynatrace. The primary purpose of this API is to obtain read-only data, making it essential for users who need to gather insights or configurations related to synthetic monitoring.

GET requests are a fundamental aspect of RESTful APIs, enabling users to fetch existing resources without modifying them. In contrast, POST, PUT, and DELETE requests are used for creating, updating, and deleting data respectively, which is not the function of the syntheticLocations.read endpoint. By focusing on the ability to retrieve data, this endpoint supports users in monitoring and analyzing the performance of their applications through synthetic checks, contributing to overall application reliability and performance insights.
