Public mock-API status
The classic free mock, fake-data and placeholder-image services that a decade of tutorials depend on — checked with a plain GET every hour, exactly what a tutorial curl or an <img> tag experiences. 30 of 71 are failing right now — 27 of those have been failing for 7+ days (dead, not a blip; marked ⚰️ below).
Last checked 2026-09-12T18:00:31Z · re-checked every hour · JSON · Atom feed of down/recovered events (subscribe in any RSS reader — single blips debounced) · 
README badges on every service page · what each of these is good for →
New: get a Slack/Discord/webhook ping when one of these goes down — every service page has a subscribe box (e.g. ReqRes alerts), or watch all 71 at once via the watch API. Free, no account.
Watch your own URL: the same checker can monitor your API — curl -X POST https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/api/status/monitor -d '{"url":"https://api.example.com/health","notify":"https://hooks.slack.com/…"}' checks it every 30 minutes and pings your webhook once on down, once on recovery.

What "OK" means
OK = the service answered a plain, keyless GET with HTTP 2xx/3xx within 8s, from Cloudflare's network. That is deliberately the tutorial-code experience: no API keys, no browser cookies, no retries. A service can be "up" for authenticated users while failing here (ReqRes) or serve humans while blocking scripts (placehold.it) — the notes say so. Results are logged verbatim; the OK-rates are computed from the raw checks, which you can pull from /status.json (CORS on).
Bias disclosure: this page is run by Mockbird, a free hosted mock-API service — the "free alternative" links point at our own honest migration guides, which also say when the incumbent is the better tool. If one of these services is down and you just need a working endpoint: curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/demo/products works with no signup, and one click creates your own.
