We check NPR One's listed URL (http://dev.npr.org/api/) once a day. History started when NPR One was first checked, so new entries show fewer than 30 days.

NPR One API not working for you?

  1. NPR One needs OAuth. 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 calls fail only in the browser with a CORS error, NPR One may not allow cross-origin requests. Call it from your server instead.
  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.

NPR One API status FAQ

Is NPR One API down right now?

Our latest daily check of NPR One (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 NPR One is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether NPR One API is up?

Once a day our checker requests NPR One's listed URL (http://dev.npr.org/api/) 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.
