We check OSV's listed URL (https://google.github.io/osv.dev/api/) once a day. History started when OSV was first checked, so new entries show fewer than 30 days.

OSV 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 it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks.
  3. Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.

OSV API status FAQ

Is OSV API down right now?

OSV answered our last daily check (Oct 24, 2026, 12:25 UTC) in 608 ms with HTTP 200. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether OSV is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether OSV API is up?

Once a day our checker requests OSV's listed URL (https://google.github.io/osv.dev/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.

What can I use if OSV API is down?

Free Security APIs that were up at their last check include Presend, IPGuardian, IPLogs. See the full list of OSV alternatives for a comparison.

Why does OSV API work for others but not for me?

A 429 response means you're being rate-limited. Slow down, cache responses, and respect any Retry-After header. If it works from one network but not another, check firewalls, VPNs and regional blocks. Check the provider's documentation, status page or social accounts for planned maintenance or a changed endpoint.
