Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-10-01

On 2026-10-01 (UTC) the monitor tracked 12 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 91.31% across 16,980 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 170 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, 1415 consecutive failed minutes.
• Fleet trend: median latency improved by 34 ms vs. yesterday (−34 ms; now 170 ms).
• Fastest node: api.campingclub.me at 59 ms average. That is 265 ms below the fleet average of 324 ms across 11 nodes.
• Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 896 ms average. That is 572 ms above the fleet average of 324 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.
