We check JSONPlaceholder's listed URL (http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/) once a day. History started when JSONPlaceholder was first checked, so new entries show fewer than 30 days.

JSONPlaceholder API not working for you?

  1. A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header.
  2. If calls fail only in the browser with a CORS error, JSONPlaceholder may not allow cross-origin requests. Call it from your server instead.
  3. JSONPlaceholder is listed without HTTPS. Browsers block plain-HTTP requests from HTTPS pages (mixed content).
  4. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
  5. Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

JSONPlaceholder API status FAQ

Is JSONPlaceholder API down right now?

JSONPlaceholder answered our last daily check (Oct 24, 2026, 12:25 UTC) in 669 ms with HTTP 200. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether JSONPlaceholder is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether JSONPlaceholder API is up?

Once a day our checker requests JSONPlaceholder's listed URL (http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/) 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 JSONPlaceholder API is down?

Free Test Data APIs that were up at their last check include AddressMock, DummyJSON, flaky. See the full list of JSONPlaceholder alternatives for a comparison.
