Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-07-23

On 2026-07-23 (UTC) the monitor tracked 12 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 82.92% across 16,968 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 119 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: api.steem.fans, 1414 consecutive failed minutes.
• Fastest node: api.moecki.online at 48 ms average. That is 235 ms below the fleet average of 283 ms across 10 nodes.
• Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 963 ms average. That is 680 ms above the fleet average of 283 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 laggard: api.steemit.com has been in the bottom 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.
