About this data

This page measures how frequently public APIs fail to update their health checks or status pages without warning. It tracks the median time since the last health check update, the percentage of APIs with outdated checks (older than 30 days), and trends in silent failures over time. The data reveals unreliable services that neglect to communicate outages or degradations, highlighting infrastructure decay that often goes unnoticed. By quantifying these gaps, it provides insight into the real reliability of publicly accessible APIs beyond official claims.

Why this isn't published anywhere else

No dedicated public dashboard or dataset tracks global 'dead-end' public API health check silence specifically. Related tools (e.g., UptimeRobot, Gatus) monitor API health but do not focus on silent failures or decay in health check updates.
