Independent API monitoring for developers
API Status Check monitors 160+ APIs in real time so you know when your dependencies go down — before your users do.
Why we built this
Every developer has been there: your app breaks, users start complaining, and you spend 20 minutes debugging before realizing it's not your code — it's a third-party API outage.
Official status pages are often slow to update. By the time they acknowledge an issue, you've already lost time and trust. We built API Status Check to give developers an independent, real-time view of the APIs they depend on.
No spin. No delayed updates. Just the facts.
How it works
Continuous monitoring
We check 62+ API status pages every 5 minutes using direct integrations with Statuspage.io and independent endpoint checks.
Instant detection
When an API goes down or degrades, we detect it within minutes — often before the provider acknowledges it on their own status page.
Alerts that matter
Get notified via email, RSS, or webhooks when the APIs you depend on have issues. No noise — only real incidents.
Built for developers
API Status Check is built by developers, for developers. Everything is designed around the workflows you already use:
- Status badges for your README — show real-time dependency status right in your repo
- RSS feeds per API — plug into your existing monitoring stack
- Webhook integrations — pipe alerts to Slack, Discord, or your custom endpoints
- MCP Server — let your AI coding assistants check API status directly
- Public API — build your own dashboards and integrations
