Response fields

FieldTypeDescription
statusstringOverall system health: operational, degraded, or outage.
timestampstringISO 8601 timestamp of the check.
servicesarrayPer-service health results.
services[].idstringMachine-readable service identifier (e.g., api-gateway, signing-service).
services[].namestringHuman-readable service name.
services[].statusstringService health: operational, degraded, or outage.
services[].responseTimenumber or nullResponse time in milliseconds, or null if unreachable.
services[].errorstringPresent only when the service is not operational. Describes the failure reason.

​
Status logic

  • operational — all services are healthy and responding normally.
  • degraded — at least one service is slow or returning errors, but none are fully down.
  • outage — at least one service is completely unreachable.

Example: poll status from your application

async function checkTruthlockStatus() {
  const res = await fetch("https://status.truthlocks.com/api/health");
  const data = await res.json();

  if (data.status !== "operational") {
    console.warn(`Truthlocks is ${data.status}`);
    const issues = data.services.filter((s) => s.status !== "operational");
    issues.forEach((s) =>
      console.warn(`  ${s.name}: ${s.status} — ${s.error}`)
    );
  }

  return data;
}

​
Example: pre-flight check before minting

async function mintWithStatusCheck(attestation) {
  const status = await fetch("https://status.truthlocks.com/api/health");
  const health = await status.json();

  const signingService = health.services.find(
    (s) => s.id === "signing-service"
  );
  const attestationService = health.services.find(
    (s) => s.id === "attestation-service"
  );

  if (
    signingService?.status !== "operational" ||
    attestationService?.status !== "operational"
  ) {
    throw new Error("Required services are not operational — retry later");
  }

  return client.attestations.mint(attestation);
}
This endpoint is rate-limited to prevent abuse. For continuous monitoring, poll no more frequently than once every 30 seconds.
