OpenStatus

OpenStatus is an open-source synthetic monitoring and status-page platform. It runs HTTP, TCP, and DNS uptime checks from 28 global regions, publishes hosted and self-hostable status pages, and manages incidents and status reports. The OpenStatus REST API at https://api.openstatus.dev/v1 lets teams programmatically manage monitors, status pages, status reports, incidents, and on-demand checks. The platform is free to self-host (AGPL-3.0) and also available as a managed cloud service.

OpenStatus publishes 5 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Check API, Incident API, Monitor API, and 2 more. Tagged areas include Monitoring, Synthetic Monitoring, Uptime, Status Pages, and Incidents.

OpenStatus’ developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/openstatus: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
