Vendor status pages say “all systems operational”. Developers say otherwise. api.gripe tracks uptime, latency and real developer sentiment for the APIs you build on — so you know which ones actually hate you back.
Be first to see the scores when we launch. No spam — a confirm email, a short welcome once you confirm, then one at launch.
By joining, you agree to get the launch announcement and product updates from We Build Stuff (api.gripe) at this address. Questions: support@api.gripe. You can withdraw consent at any time — every subscriber email carries a one-click unsubscribe.
We'll notify you when the scores go live.
We emailed you a confirm link. Click it within 72 hours to lock your spot — you're not on the list until you do.
Status pages tell you what vendors want you to hear. We measure the rest.
Uptime and latency checks on the public APIs developers depend on, around the clock — not just when their status page admits something is wrong.
Real developer sentiment from across X, GitHub and Discord — the outages, silent breaking changes and support horror stories that never make the changelog.
One honest reliability score per API, blending hard uptime data with how developers actually feel — so you pick vendors with your eyes open.

Every vendor status page says “all systems operational” — usually right up until it doesn't. Meanwhile developers find out about outages from each other: a frustrated thread, a spike in error reports, a support ticket answered three days later.
api.gripe is the independent API reliability tracker: continuous uptime and latency monitoring plus real developer sentiment, rolled into one honest score per API. Before you build on an API — or after it pages you one too many times — check the gripe.
