Accepted Answer

Question 5

Where is Claude API's status page?

Accepted Answer

Claude API's official status page is https://status.anthropic.com. Pingoru polls it every 5 minutes and renders the same data here, alongside every other cloud or SaaS provider you depend on — so you can spot multi-vendor incidents (e.g. AWS + Stripe + Cloudflare degrading at the same minute) without flipping between tabs.

Question 6

Is Claude API down right now?

Accepted Answer

Claude API is up. Pingoru checks the official status page every 5 minutes and flips this headline the moment Claude API reports a change. Current status is based on 1 tracked services.

Question 7

How does Pingoru know if Claude API is down?

Accepted Answer

We read https://status.anthropic.com directly, using Claude API's own status page. If the vendor reports an incident, you see it within one check cycle — not after someone manually marks the page as down.

Question 8

Where can I get notified when Claude API has an outage?

Accepted Answer

Create a free Pingoru account and add Claude API as a monitor. You can filter to specific services, pick severity thresholds, and route alerts via email, Slack, Discord, or a webhook.

Question 9

Claude API's status page says the service is up, but I'm having issues — what's wrong?

Accepted Answer

Three common reasons:

• A real Claude API incident that hasn't been acknowledged on their public status page yet — vendor status pages are updated manually and typically lag the first customer reports by 10–30 minutes.
• A regional or account-scoped issue affecting a subset of customers — these rarely trigger a global status-page change.
• A local problem: ISP / DNS / your own software. Try reproducing from a mobile data connection and from a different network to isolate.

If you suspect a real Claude API issue that isn't reflected yet, contact their support to escalate. Subscribing here means you get the alert the moment they do post an update.

Question 10

Where does Pingoru get the official Claude API status?

Accepted Answer

We use Claude API's own status page at https://status.anthropic.com and cross-reference their homepage (https://docs.anthropic.com/). Nothing is read in a way the vendor hasn't explicitly made public — we use the same data their own dashboard uses. So our data is as accurate as what you'd see loading the status page yourself, but rolled into one dashboard alongside every other service you depend on.

Question 11

What does "Up" mean?

Accepted Answer

All tracked Claude API components are reporting operational. No incidents are currently affecting service.
