```bash
BASE_URL="https://uptimeify.io"
TOKEN="<your-api-token>"

curl -X PATCH "$BASE_URL/api/websites/9a3d4d4d-7a4b-4f37-a9df-2a6f6d9d7a10" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "status": "maintenance"
  }'
```

## Request Body
