SpectrumOutage API

name: SpectrumOutage API
description: 'Community-powered REST API for live Spectrum internet, TV, and phone outage data across the United States, published
  by SpectrumOutage.us — an independent outage tracker with no affiliation to Charter Communications or Spectrum. The v1 API
  exposes eight operations over crowdsourced outage reports: national dashboard statistics with an hourly timeline and service
  breakdown, a paginated report feed, outage submission, city and state lookups by slug, ZIP-code status (issues_reported
  / all_clear) with the reports behind it, and map pin/cluster data over a 1h, 24h or 48h window. Access is a bearer API key
  issued manually by email, or through a free RapidAPI plan; the provider also publishes an OpenAPI 3.0.3 specification, an
  agent-facing llm.txt on both hosts, a Postman collection, and an open outage dataset mirrored to GitHub, Hugging Face, Kaggle
  and Figshare.'

x-pointers-deliberately-omitted:
  MCPServer: mcp/spectrumoutage-api-mcp.yml is a DERIVED candidate tool list, not a served MCP endpoint. The provider publishes
    no hosted MCP server (/mcp and /.well-known/mcp.json 404 on both hosts), so wiring an MCPServer pointer would credit an
    agent surface that does not exist.
  WellKnown: All 18 /.well-known/ paths probed across both hosts returned 404. well-known/ records that verified absence;
    there is no served document to point at.
  AgentCard: /.well-known/agent-card.json and /.well-known/agent.json both 404 on both hosts. Per the pipeline this artifact
    is search-only, so nothing was written.
  StatusPage: The provider is a status surface for a THIRD party (Charter Spectrum) and publishes no status page for its own
    API. https://spectrumoutage.us/status returns 404.
  Deprecation: no deprecation policy and no RFC 8594 Sunset/Deprecation header support is published.
  Security: No security.txt, no vulnerability disclosure page and no bug bounty were found by probe-security-programs.py or
    by hand.
  Compliance: no certifications, trust center or compliance program is published.
  SDKs: no first-party client library exists in any public registry; packages/ records the zero.
  Idempotency: POST /reports has no idempotency key and no request-deduplication contract; a retry creates a duplicate report.
  AsyncAPI: no event, streaming or webhook surface is documented.
  SignUp: API keys are issued only by email; there is no self-service signup on the provider's own site.
