Steem API Health · 2026-10-11

On 2026-10-11 (UTC) the monitor tracked 12 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 90.87% across 16,896 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 175 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, 1408 consecutive failed minutes.
  • First failure in 7 days: steemd.steemworld.org had 46 failed ticks today.

Visual detail

Steem API Health · detail · 2026-10-11

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.
