Real-Time Edge Endpoint Prober

Live API Health & Speed Checker

Test any public API endpoint in real-time. Measure response latency in milliseconds, inspect HTTP status codes, TLS encryption, and response headers.

Zero CORS Restrictions — Probed via Backend Edge RunnersServer-to-Server

Unlike browser fetch() which blocks requests when target endpoints lack Access-Control-Allow-Origin, Uptara executes real HTTP/S probes directly from our backend edge runners. You can inspect public APIs, internal microservices, and webhook receivers with zero CORS blocking.

What This Health Checker Measures

Every probe executes a real HTTP transaction from our edge infrastructure, capturing deep telemetry across six vital dimensions:

HTTP Status Codes

Evaluates standard HTTP response codes across 2xx (nominal success), 3xx (redirections), 4xx (client errors), and 5xx (upstream server failures or crashes).

Round-Trip Latency

Calculates total execution duration in milliseconds, encompassing DNS resolution, TCP handshake, TLS cryptographic negotiation, and Time to First Byte (TTFB).

Protocol Negotiation

Detects whether the upstream server negotiated HTTP/2 (multiplexed streams over a single connection) or standard HTTP/1.1 with persistent keep-alive.

TLS / SSL Certificates

Validates HTTPS certificate chains, identifies the Certificate Authority (CA) issuer, and tracks remaining validity days before certificate expiration.

Redirect Chain Hops

Follows HTTP 301, 302, 307, and 308 redirect chains, counting hop traversal to verify canonical destination resolution and detect potential infinite loops.

Headers & Body Payload

Inspects all returned HTTP response headers (content-type, cache-control, server) and validates response payload snippets.

Automate 24/7 API Ping Health Checks

Don't manually test endpoints. Set up automated 10-second multi-region ping probes with zero false alarms.

Diagnose HTTP Status Codes

Explore definitions, root causes, remediation checklists, and cURL commands in our RFC status code reference.

Frequently Asked Questions

This tool dispatches a live HTTP/HTTPS probe directly from Uptara edge nodes to your target URL. It measures exact round-trip latency, negotiates the transport protocol (HTTP/2 or HTTP/1.1), verifies the TLS/SSL handshake, tracks redirects, and inspects HTTP response headers.

Standard browser-based fetch tools run inside your web browser and are restricted by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) security policies if the API does not set Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers. Uptara executes checks server-to-server from our global edge infrastructure, meaning you can test any public API, internal service, or webhook receiver without CORS interference.

Latency measures total network round-trip time in milliseconds, encompassing DNS resolution, TCP connection establishment, TLS/SSL cryptographic handshake, and Time to First Byte (TTFB) from the server response.

You can create a free Uptara account to run scheduled probes 24/7 (every 3 minutes on the Free tier with 10 free monitors, down to 30 seconds on Pro plans) across multiple global regions with instant alerts on WhatsApp, Slack, PagerDuty, and email.

Yes. In your Uptara dashboard, you can configure synthetic monitors with custom HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH), custom request headers (Authorization, Bearer tokens, API keys), JSON request payloads, and assertion checks on status codes or response bodies.
