# Health Check

> Service status and uptime monitoring

```
GET /v1/health
```

Returns the current service status. Use this endpoint to verify the API is running and reachable.

<Note>
  This is the **only endpoint** that does not require authentication. No `X-API-Key` header is needed.

## Fields

| Field     | Type   | Description                                      |
| --------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------ |
| status    | string | Always `"ok"` when the service is up and healthy |

  Use this endpoint for **uptime monitoring** and automated health checks. Point your monitoring tool (UptimeRobot, Pingdom, Datadog, etc.) at `https://api.appeeky.com/v1/health` and alert on non-200 responses or missing `"status": "ok"`.
