Hey @johnsyweb 
just wondering what the status.envato.com system is tracking on the API? Some reports of API down time but nothing showing on status. Envato API - Down again ?
What the status.envato.com system is tracking on the API?
We use a combination of Pingdom and New Relic to pull in those metrics.
Some reports of API down time but nothing showing on status
The uptime checks are only using a single defined endpoint which we have setup to confirm the availability of the API - we do perform checks from multiple geographical regions to check for region based network issues but I think you would have already seen the issue in that first sentence 
. In this case, it looks like check endpoint was responding as expected however there were some underlying issues that didn’t bubble up and mark it as unavailable. Clearly this approach is not the most ideal and as our API grows more complete and complex we need to look to a more robust solution. To remedy this, we’ve started discussions with the teams at Envato around the next steps to increase the external end to end test coverage of these API’s so that we are alerted to these issues earlier.
