Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-08-12

steem-api-health (63)in #steem • 2 days ago

On 2026-08-12 (UTC) the monitor tracked 12 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 91.32% across 16,968 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 132 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: steemd.blazeapps.org, 1414 consecutive failed minutes.
Fastest node: api.moecki.online at 44 ms average. That is 254 ms below the fleet average of 298 ms across 11 nodes.
Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 925 ms average. That is 627 ms above the fleet average of 298 ms.
Consistent leader: api.campingclub.me has been in the top 3 by latency every day this week.

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.
