Hi,
yes it is possible using the API to get the actual sensor state. In the API Documentation on your PRTG installation under Setup | PRTG API on tab Live Data the API call getobjectstatus is described which allows you to gather several information about a object in PRTG using the object ID.
A example call might look like follows:

/api/getobjectstatus.htm?id=objectid&name=status&show=text

Where all values described in section Supported Output Columns can be used in the name parameter of the API call.
Best regards

Please try adding the parameters username and password resp. passhash to the requested URL. You would then end up with something like the following:

https://xxx/api/getobjectstatus.htm?id=13015&name=status&show=text&username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD

or

https://xxx/api/getobjectstatus.htm?id=13015&name=status&show=text&username=YOUR_USERNAME&passhash=YOUR_PASSHASH

The passhash can be obtained from your user account settings from the PRTG web interface at Setup | My Account.

There is no example code available for the moment. Sorry. You might have a look at this HowTo which describes fetching of websites.
