Website monitoring status – Public API Status

News:

In line with a previous post, I came across http://api-status.com (powered by watchmouse). This website monitors the availability and uptime of 25+ public API’s and cloud services (for example Google Search, Apps, Bing, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter). The website calls the API and if a response is not received within a few seconds, the API is registered as ‘not available’. The availability percentage is measured against the amount of errors. By clicking the name of the API, you get more detailed information. I hope they add an RSS feed soon. (for more info on available internet API’s, I suggest www.programmableweb.com).
