Steem API Health — Daily Report 2026-09-15

On 2026-09-15 (UTC) the monitor tracked 12 Steem API nodes with a global uptime of 99.91% across 16,980 measurements. Median latency across all nodes: 198 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.steem.fans, 1 consecutive failed minute.
• Fastest node: api.justyy.com at 78 ms average. That is 241 ms below the fleet average of 319 ms across 12 nodes.
• Slowest node: steem.justyy.com at 958 ms average. That is 639 ms above the fleet average of 319 ms.
• Consistent leader: api.justyy.com has been in the top 3 by latency every day this week.
• Consistent laggard: api.steemit.com has been in the bottom 3 by latency every day this week.
• Consistent laggard: api.steemyy.com has been in the bottom 3 by latency every day this week.

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.
