DigitalOcean Status API
Overview
The DigitalOcean Status API provides real-time and historical data on the operational status of all DigitalOcean services, including Droplets, Managed Databases, Kubernetes, Spaces, and more. You can query current component health, active incidents, scheduled maintenance windows, and past incidents — all without authentication. It is built on the Statuspage.io platform and returns predictable JSON.
Beginner Tip
This is one of the easiest APIs to start with — no sign-up, no API key, and the responses are clean JSON. Use it to build a simple dashboard that alerts your team when DigitalOcean has an outage. The base URL is https://status.digitalocean.com/api/v2.
