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 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

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.

The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

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.

openstatus is an area vendor: providers adopt it to run part of their developer surface. This is the Kin Score checks its features can move for a provider that adopts it, what each one really earns, and what it earns nothing for.

status pagecapability map5 features checked 2026-09-25 · rubric v0.22.0

openstatus moves one Kin Score check, status_page_present (6 of 38 operational-transparency points), once the provider declares the page as a StatusPage in apis.yml. Its hosting clears the pointer-liveness probe — *.openstatus.dev pages return a real 404 for nonsense paths — so the free Hobby page on the default subdomain earns the same full credit as a custom domain. No vendor-registry key detects it yet, so its customers cannot be counted. RSS/Atom and JSON feeds, the OpenAPI-described API and the MCP server are real practice that scores nothing for the provider.

Across 8977 providers that publish a contract, adopting openstatus would move 6390. Median lift: composite +2.0 (90th percentile +2.1), agent readiness +0.0 (+0.0). Conditional rows excluded.

What openstatus ships that earns nothing (1)

API with OpenAPI spec, CLI, Terraform and MCP server — The MCP server manages the provider’s openstatus account; the dimension reads an MCP server for the provider’s own API, described in its mcp/ manifest.

A model, not a score. Adopting this vendor changes a provider's Kin Score only when the provider publishes the resulting artifacts on its own surface; nothing here writes a score, and no sponsorship or partnership can. The rating is not for sale → · Full vendor facets artifact
