Looking for Public Health-Check APIs Without Authentication

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working on a project where I need to check the availability of various public services via their health-check endpoints. I’m specifically looking for publicly accessible health-check APIs that do not require authentication.

Most of these health-check endpoints are commonly structured as:

  • /health
  • /status
  • /ping

These endpoints usually return a simple 200 OK response or similar status code when the service is up, and they don't require authentication.

What I’m Looking For:

  • A list of public services that expose health-check endpoints.
  • Information on whether authentication is required or not.
  • Examples of how to query these APIs (curl commands or basic API request examples).

If you have any resources or know of any public services with health-check APIs, feel free to share!

Thanks in advance!

    You can try using freepublicapis.com, which provides multiple no-auth endpoints you can call and receive a 200 OK response when they are up.

     

    Hope this helps

    thanks

    Hi Anonymous,

    Thanks for using Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.

     

    As nilendraFabric mentioned, his response addresses your query and additionally the services that offer health-check endpoints, which are publicly accessible without requiring authentication.

    One is Github ( curl https://api.github.com/health_check ) 

    Additionally, for 3rd party tools, we have AWS and Cloudflare available 

    AWS ( curl https://status.aws.amazon.com/health )

    Cloudflare ( curl https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/api/v4/status.json )
