SWAPI 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.

SWAPI status FAQ

Is SWAPI down right now?

SWAPI answered our last daily check (Oct 24, 2026, 12:25 UTC) in 580 ms with HTTP 200. This page also runs a live check from our server when you open it, so you can see whether SWAPI is responding at this moment.

How do you check whether SWAPI is up?

Once a day our checker requests SWAPI's listed URL (https://swapi.dev/) 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 SWAPI is down?

Free Video APIs that were up at their last check include Dune, Final Space, MCU Countdown. See the full list of SWAPI alternatives for a comparison.

Why does SWAPI 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.
