Is Agify (api.agify.io) down?

UP right now — answered HTTP 200 in 776 ms.

Last checked 2026-09-11T20:00:46Z · checked every hour · OK-rate 24h: 100% · 7d: 100% · raw JSON · Atom feed of its down/recovered events

Context: The name→age API of countless intro-to-APIs lessons (with siblings genderize.io and nationalize.io). Keyless calls are tightly capped per IP — live responses carry x-rate-limit-limit: 25 — so a classroom, CI runner, or shared cloud egress burns the quota almost immediately (429 past it).

What we check: GET https://api.agify.io/?name=alice — a plain, keyless request from Cloudflare's network with an honest bot UA, exactly what a tutorial curl or an <img> tag experiences. OK = HTTP 2xx/3xx within 8s. No retries, no cookies, no API keys.

Need a tutorial API that answers?

If api.agify.io is failing (or you're tired of finding out mid-demo), Mockbird gives you a seeded, persistent REST API for your tutorial or side project — pick a preset (ecommerce/blog/saas) or import any JSON/CSV as your own dataset; writes persist, CORS on, no signup — free, no signup:

curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/demo/products/1
# create your own in one click (no terminal): https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/app#new=ecommerce

Read the honest Agify (api.agify.io) migration guide → (it also says when Agify (api.agify.io) is the better tool) or create your own mock API in one click.

README badge

Does your project's test suite or tutorial depend on api.agify.io? Embed a live status badge — it re-renders from our latest check (cached 5 min):

<!-- Markdown -->
[![api.agify.io status](https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/agify/badge.svg)](https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/agify)

<!-- HTML -->
<a href="https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/agify"><img src="https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/agify/badge.svg" alt="api.agify.io status"></a>

Green = answering plain GETs, red = network-dead, amber = answering but with an error status. Every tracked service has one; there's also a summary badge for all 71.

Get pinged when it goes down

Subscribe any webhook URL — no account needed. One message when api.agify.io goes down, one when it recovers (debounced: two consecutive hourly checks must agree, so a single blip never fires). Slack and Discord incoming-webhook URLs get a formatted message; anything else gets an HMAC-signed JSON POST.

Or from a terminal / CI script:

curl -X POST https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/api/status/watch \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"service": "agify", "url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000/B000/XXXX"}'

Use "service": "*" to watch all 71 tracked services at once. The response includes an unsubscribe curl; 5 consecutive failed deliveries auto-unsubscribe. No webhook? Omit "url" to get a pollable subscription instead — GET the returned poll URL anytime for the transitions since your last poll. Full API details →

The same checker can watch your own URL: POST /api/status/monitor {"url": "https://api.example.com/health", "notify": "<webhook>"} — every 30 minutes, alert on down + recovery, free, no account. Monitor API →
