Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-04-29

On 2026-04-29 (UTC) the monitor tracked 11 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 99.98% across 15,609 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 263 ms. Today's full picture and notable patterns below.

All measurements are taken from a single European location (Germany). Latency to nodes hosted outside Europe will naturally be higher than for users connecting from those regions. Want to contribute measurements from your region? See the participation block below.

Observations

• Longest outage today: api.campingclub.me, 2 consecutive failed minutes.
• Fleet trend: median latency improved by 134 ms vs. yesterday (−134 ms; now 263 ms).
• Latency change: api.steem.fans improved by 266 ms vs. yesterday (−266 ms; now 215 ms average).
• Latency change: api.justyy.com improved by 167 ms vs. yesterday (−167 ms; now 137 ms average).
• Latency change: api.campingclub.me improved by 101 ms vs. yesterday (−101 ms; now 296 ms average).
• Fastest node: api.moecki.online at 42 ms average. That is 254 ms below the fleet average of 296 ms across 11 nodes.
• Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 817 ms average. That is 521 ms above the fleet average of 296 ms.

Latency distribution

Across 15,606 successful measurements today: 49.4 % under 200 ms, 82.7 % under 500 ms, 98.2 % under 1 000 ms. (1.8 % were slower than 1 second.)

Time-of-day pattern

Best hour today: 14:00–15:00 UTC (avg latency 272 ms, 660 measurements). Worst hour: 00:00–01:00 UTC (avg latency 352 ms, 649 measurements).

Error pattern

All 3 errors today were rpc_error (100.0 %).

Biggest outage of the day

api.campingclub.me had a stretch of 2 consecutive failed minutes today. Full per-tick view: node detail page.

Best vs worst performance gap

The fastest node was 19.45× faster than the slowest today (42 ms vs 817 ms). Previous-week reference is not yet available; the trend line will appear in future reports.

Visual detail

Top: latency distribution per node. Middle: hourly performance. Bottom: cross-region comparison (when multi-source data is available).

Methodology: one condenser_api.get_dynamic_global_properties request per node every 60 seconds, 8-second timeout. Full rules and thresholds in MEASUREMENT-METHODOLOGY.
