Is httpstat.us down right now?

Effectively yes for script/tutorial use — httpstat.us answered our last plain GET with HTTP 502 (checked 2026-09-11T19:30:43Z). We check httpstat.us with a plain keyless GET every hour; 24h OK-rate: 0%.

Is httpstat.us down?

FAILING right now — answering HTTP 502 to plain requests.

Last checked 2026-09-11T19:30:43Z · checked every hour · OK-rate 24h: 0% · 7d: 0% · raw JSON · Atom feed of its down/recovered events

Failing streak began 2026-08-27T22:30:04Z or earlier (15 days — dead, not a blip) · last successful check: none in the last 7 days

Context: Connections fail outright (empty reply on HTTP and HTTPS) as of Aug 2026 — “is it down?” issues go back to 2020, and several OSS projects have dropped it from their test suites.

What we check: GET https://httpstat.us/200 — 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 working echo endpoint?

If httpstat.us is failing (or you're tired of finding out mid-demo), Mockbird gives you an httpbin-compatible drop-in — same paths, same response shapes — free, no signup:

curl "https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/httpbin/get?hello=world"

README badge

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

<!-- Markdown -->
[![httpstat.us status](https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/httpstat-us/badge.svg)](https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/httpstat-us)

<!-- HTML -->
<a href="https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/httpstat-us"><img src="https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/status/httpstat-us/badge.svg" alt="httpstat.us 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 httpstat.us 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": "httpstat-us", "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 →
