← all 90 tracked mock & placeholder APIs
UP right now — answered HTTP 200 in 428 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 — the ORIGINAL BrewDog DIY Dog beer API every pre-2024 tutorial links, api.punkapi.com/v2, shut down May 1st 2024 and the whole punkapi.com domain (api, images CDN, homepage) now fails DNS outright: curl (6) Could not resolve host (re-verified Sep 2026). The successor is keyless, CORS-open, serves all 415 DIY Dog V8 recipes with images, and keeps the classic ?beer_name= and ?abv_gt= filters. Its edges: paths are /v3 (v2 answers 404), the page query param is REQUIRED (bare /beers answers 422 with a validation object that .map() throws on), per_page clamps to 10–80, the image_url field is gone (image is a bare filename — prefix /v3/images/), and writes answer 405.
What we check: GET https://punkapi-alxiw.amvera.io/v3/beers/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.
If punkapi-alxiw.amvera.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

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.
Subscribe any webhook URL — no account needed. One message when punkapi-alxiw.amvera.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": "punkapi", "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 →
