API Status Check

About API Status Check

API Status Check is a real-time outage monitoring service tracking more than 285 APIs and web services, including AI tools, cloud infrastructure, communication platforms, payment processors, and developer tools. It provides per-service status pages showing current operational state (operational, degraded, or unknown), along with outage history and troubleshooting guides for individual services such as ChatGPT, Fortnite, PlayStation Network, and various ISPs. Services are organized into categories including AI & Machine Learning, Cloud Infrastructure, Developer Tools, Payments, Communication, Monitoring & Observability, and others.

The product offers embeddable status badges for services like GitHub READMEs, RSS feeds per service, and a public JSON API for accessing status data. It is aimed at developers and teams who depend on third-party APIs and want visibility into outages affecting those dependencies.

A free tier includes the real-time dashboard, status badges, RSS feeds, and JSON API access, but does not include email alerts or outage notifications. A paid "Alert Pro" tier, priced at $9/month, adds instant email alerts (under 60 seconds), monitoring of up to 10 APIs, outage and recovery notifications, a daily status digest, and priority support. A 14-day free trial is offered for the paid tier.
