To enhance this capability, new endpoints have been added to PagerDuty's REST API, simplifying the process of checking on-call status, with full documentation available on their developer site. The author has developed shell scripts and a JavaScript bookmarklet to facilitate tracking on-call status, requiring a PagerDuty API key and tailored for a Mac OS X environment, although they can be adapted for other systems. Additionally, the author created scripts to send inspirational emails during challenging on-call rotations and a convenient terminal alias that audibly announces on-call status.
