Using API to just show status of website?

Using API to just show status of website?

Hi folks, I've been going through the API Guide but I'm stuck and I'm hoping someone on here can help.  I have a Monitoring Group (I have the ID) that I want to appear on my website to users after they authenticate to my LDAP (along with other information).  I'd like to get this info via JSON API.  When I do a GET of the Monitoring Group ID, it doesn't actually tell me the status of the individual monitors.  Same goes if I poll the individual Monitor IDs.  It gives me info about how it's setup, but not the actual polling status to see if it's up/down. I do not want to use the site24x7 public share page, it needs to be done via API customization.   Is this not possible?
