About OpenAI API outages
Is OpenAI API down right now?
api.openai.com answered our last check in 147 ms. The official status page reports no problems.
How does Uptimecheck check OpenAI API?
We request https://api.openai.com/v1/models every 2 minutes from Stockholm. Any answer below HTTP 500 within 10 seconds counts as up, since large sites often answer automated requests with 403. A failure only counts once a second check confirms it. We also read OpenAI API's official status page every 2 minutes.
What can I do when OpenAI API is down?
Check OpenAI API's official status page for updates and try again in a few minutes. If api.openai.com works for us but not for you, try another network or browser, or clear your DNS cache. If your own product depends on OpenAI API, tell your customers on your status page before they email support.
Can I get an alert when OpenAI API has an outage?
Yes. Start a free trial and Uptimecheck watches OpenAI API's official status page for you and alerts you by email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Telegram or webhook when it reports an outage, and again when it is resolved.
