Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-04-30

On 2026-04-30 (UTC) the monitor tracked 11 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 99.96% across 15,598 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 253 ms. Today's full picture and notable patterns below.

All measurements are taken from a single European location (Germany). Latency to nodes hosted outside Europe will naturally be higher than for users connecting from those regions. Want to contribute measurements from your region? See the participation block below.

Observations

• Longest outage today: api.justyy.com, 1 consecutive failed minute.
• Fastest node: api.moecki.online at 42 ms average. That is 242 ms below the fleet average of 284 ms across 11 nodes.
• Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 833 ms average. That is 549 ms above the fleet average of 284 ms.

Visual detail

Top: latency distribution per node. Middle: hourly performance. Bottom: cross-region comparison (when multi-source data is available).

Methodology: one condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties request per node every 60 seconds, 8-second timeout. Full rules and thresholds in MEASUREMENT-METHODOLOGY.
