Feeds, badge and embed

Every status page publishes a few public files next to the page itself. They update within a minute of any change on the page, and nothing needs turning on.

All of them live under one address, built from the two ids in your page’s URL (https://statuspage.siteqwality.com/<account-id>/<page-id>):

https://statuspagecdn.siteqwality.com/v1/pages/<account-id>/<page-id>/

Use the ids in lower case. In the dashboard, a status page’s Share tab lists every address and snippet below, ready to copy.

FileWhat it is
incidents.rssRSS 2.0 feed of the page’s incidents
incidents.atomThe same incidents as an Atom feed
summary.jsonThe current status, components, open incidents and maintenance, as JSON
badge.svgA small image with the page’s current status

If the page has a live custom domain, the same files are served on it at the same path, for example https://status.example.com/v1/pages/<account-id>/<page-id>/incidents.rss, and the feeds and the page’s feed links use that address.

Paste the incidents.rss or incidents.atom address into any feed reader, Slack’s RSS app or a similar tool. The public status page also links both feeds at the bottom, next to the email form, and announces them to browsers and readers that look for feeds.

Each incident is one item, with every update in it, newest first. An incident moves to the top of the feed when it gets a new update or is resolved, so a reader shows it again. The feed holds open incidents and the latest 30.

Links in the feed go to the incident on your page. On a page with a custom domain, they use the domain: https://status.example.com/incidents/<incident-id>.

summary.json is the small, stable version of the page for scripts and your own app:

Terminal window
curl -s https://statuspagecdn.siteqwality.com/v1/pages/$ACCOUNT_ID/$PAGE_ID/summary.json \
| jq '.status'
{ "indicator": "operational", "description": "All Systems Operational" }
FieldDescription
pageid, name (the page title) and url (the page’s public address, its custom domain when one is live).
statusindicator is the headline: operational, unknown, degraded_performance, partial_outage, major_outage or under_maintenance. description is the wording the page shows.
groups[]Section headings in page order: id, name, description.
components[]In page order: id, name, kind (http, browser, heartbeat or manual), status (operational, degraded, down, paused, maintenance or unknown), status_note (the note on a status you set by hand, or null) and group_id. Hidden components are left out.
active_incidents[]id, title, status, severity, created_at, updated_at (the newest update), latest_update (its text) and url.
maintenances[]Scheduled and in-progress maintenance: id, title, status, scheduled_start_at, scheduled_end_at.

Any origin may fetch these files, so a browser can read them directly. They are cached for 10 seconds.

badge.svg reads status | operational (or degraded, partial outage, major outage, maintenance, unknown) in a matching colour. Link it to your page, for example in a README:

[![Status](https://statuspagecdn.siteqwality.com/v1/pages/ACCOUNT_ID/PAGE_ID/badge.svg)](https://statuspage.siteqwality.com/ACCOUNT_ID/PAGE_ID)

Or in HTML:

<a href="https://statuspage.siteqwality.com/ACCOUNT_ID/PAGE_ID">
<img src="https://statuspagecdn.siteqwality.com/v1/pages/ACCOUNT_ID/PAGE_ID/badge.svg" alt="Service status">
</a>

One script tag shows a small card in a corner of your site while the page has an open incident or maintenance in progress. When all is well it shows nothing.

<script src="https://statuspagecdn.siteqwality.com/v1/embed.js"
data-account="ACCOUNT_ID" data-page="PAGE_ID" async></script>
  • The card shows the incident title, its latest update and a link to the incident on your page.
  • Add data-position="bottom-right" to move it from the bottom left.
  • A visitor can dismiss it. It comes back when the incident gets a new update, or in a new browser session.
  • It checks again every minute while the tab is visible, follows the visitor’s light or dark setting and keeps its styles inside a shadow root, so your site’s CSS and the card never affect each other.
