Downdetector

A live outage tracker that charts problem reports from users and social media for apps, websites, ISPs and mobile networks, so you can tell whether a service is down for everyone or just for you.

When a big app or cloud service breaks, the spike in user reports shows up on its chart within minutes.

Do not scrape Downdetector pages or build datasets from them
Personal, non-commercial use only unless you license the Enterprise API from Ookla
