Description

Hi,

I would like to suggest adding an API endpoint that allows pausing and resuming speed tests.

Since I run multiple Docker containers that occasionally require high download and upload bandwidth, it would be very helpful to temporarily pause speed tests whenever overall internet usage exceeds a certain threshold (e.g., 10%). Alternatively, it would be useful to be able to trigger speed tests manually via the API, so I can monitor network usage with a script and start speed tests only when it falls below a defined threshold. This would help avoid interference during peak usage periods..

Thank you in advance and kind regards!

Ones we have the scheduling added to the admin UI (#2540), there will be API as phase 2 to pause/disable these schedules.

Right now you can already trigger a speed test via the API https://docs.speedtest-tracker.dev/api/responses/speedtests#post-api-v1-speedtests-run

Oh I didn’t even look under the Responses tab in the documentation. Sorry about that.
