Is JSONPlaceholder down?

UP right now — answered HTTP 200 in 12 ms.

Context: Fixed dataset; writes are faked (POST answers 201 but nothing persists).

What we check: GET https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/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 fake-data REST API that answers?

If jsonplaceholder.typicode.com is failing (or you're tired of finding out mid-demo), Mockbird gives you a seeded fake-data REST API that answers right now — and unlike the classics, writes actually persist — free, no signup:

curl https://mockbird.mockbird.workers.dev/m/demo/products/1
