Status | EG Group API

Simple Overview

GET

https://status.eg.group/api/v1/status

Get the overall status for a page, without all the complexities of components and notices.

State

operational: No current incidents or underway maintenance.
degraded: One or more current incidents are marked as 'investigating' or 'identified'. Incidents marked as 'recovering' are no longer considered current.
under_maintenance: One or more current maintenance marked as 'underway'

*In the event that both a current incident and an underway maintenance are present, 'degraded' takes priority.

Filtering Notices

If you want to search for certain notices, such as planned maintenances, or only current incidents you can do so by passing the “filter” query string parameter.

Example: Only retrieve planned maintenance.

GET /api/v1/notices?filter[type_eq]=planned

Example: Only retrieve current unplanned notices.

GET /api/v1/notices?filter[timeline_state_eq]=present&filter[type_eq]=unplanned

You can mix and match other "type" and "timeline_state" values in the filter, so you have the flexibility to return just the records you need.

Pagination

Collections such as “components” and “notices” only return a maximum of 25 records per request. Larger collections are split into multiple pages and contain a URL to retrieve the next page in the collection.

We also include a count of the records on this page and the total record count across all pages.

{
    "notices": [],
    "meta": {
        "count": 25,
        "total_count": 100,
        "next_page": "/v1/notices?page=2"
    }
}

Fair Use

The Status API allows developers to build on and benefit from the Sorry™ platform. At the same time, we must protect our system and our users’ rights, rate limiting to 10 requests per second.
