We check Base's listed URL (https://www.base-api.io/) once a day. History started when Base was first checked, so new entries show fewer than 30 days.

Base API not working for you?

  1. Base needs an API key. A 401 or 403 usually means a missing, expired or mis-sent credential: check whether it belongs in a header or the query string.
  2. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
  3. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
  4. Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

Base API status FAQ

Is Base API down right now?

Our latest daily check of Base (Oct 24, 2026, 12:25 UTC) failed: its domain name doesn't resolve. One failure can be a blip; the live check below tells you whether it's still failing. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether Base is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether Base API is up?

Once a day our checker requests Base's listed URL (https://www.base-api.io/) and records whether it answers within 15 seconds. Answers like 401 (needs a key), 403 (blocks bots) or 429 (rate-limited) count as up, because the server responded. The listed URL is often the documentation page, so an API endpoint can occasionally fail while its docs stay up.

What can I use if Base API is down?

Free Development APIs that were up at their last check include Icanhazip, Index Agentica, Open VSX. See the full list of Base alternatives for a comparison.
