I've used it several times to run traceroute measurements from different places. 
As Stephane mentioned, quite straightforward, well-documented and easy to use.
It's also free of charge, with no rate limiting (afaik).

It leverages the jsDelivr pops, which itself uses a few other CDNs for placement iirc.

No real practical experience but it seems interesting. The API is
well documented and a shell script as simple as:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
   --data-binary @- \
   https://api.globalping.io/v1/measurements \
<<EOF
{
    "limit": 10,
    "locations": [],
    "target": "ayla.bortzmeyer.org",
    "type": "ping",
    "measurementOptions": {
        "packets": 3
    }
}
EOF

is enough to launch a measurement. You can see the resulting JSON at
https://api.globalping.io/v1/measurements/bqXml2MiDAoawobv if you want
an idea.
