Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-10-20

On 2026-10-20 (UTC) the monitor tracked 12 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 91.41% across 15,240 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 208 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, 1270 consecutive failed minutes.
• Latency change: api.steemyy.com improved by 197 ms vs. yesterday (−197 ms; now 691 ms average).
• Fastest node: api.campingclub.me at 89 ms average. That is 297 ms below the fleet average of 386 ms across 11 nodes.
• Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 1062 ms average. That is 676 ms above the fleet average of 386 ms.
• Consistent leader: api.campingclub.me has been in the top 3 by latency every day this week.
• Consistent leader: api.justyy.com has been in the top 3 by latency every day this week.
• Consistent leader: steemd.steemworld.org has been in the top 3 by latency every day this week.
• Consistent laggard: api.steemyy.com has been in the bottom 3 by latency every day this week.
• Consistent laggard: steem.justyy.com has been in the bottom 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.
