Is Studio Ghibli API (ghibliapi.vercel.app) down?

UP right now — answered HTTP 200 in 167 ms.

Last checked 2026-09-26T01:30:51Z · checked every hour (a timeout/TLS/DNS blip on an otherwise-up service is confirmed with a same-run retry before it counts) · OK-rate 24h: 100% · 7d: 100% · raw JSON · Atom feed of its down/recovered events

Context: This probes the community successor at ghibliapi.vercel.app — the ORIGINAL host every pre-2023 tutorial links, ghibliapi.herokuapp.com, is permanently dead (404 'No such app' since Heroku ended free dynos in Nov 2022; re-verified Sep 2026). The successor is keyless, CORS-open, and preserves the original record UUIDs, so a host swap fixes old tutorials. Its edges: filters are exact-match only (?title=Totoro returns []), sortBy is ignored, and writes are theater — POST answers 201 with a fresh UUID whose GET-back is 404.

What we check: GET https://ghibliapi.vercel.app/films?limit=1 — 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 ghibliapi.vercel.app 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

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 90.

Get pinged when it goes down

Subscribe any webhook URL — no account needed. One message when ghibliapi.vercel.app 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": "ghibli", "url": "https://hooks.slack.com/services/T000/B000/XXXX"}'

Use "service": "*" to watch all 90 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 →
