Status & Incidents

There is no public status page for the PirateCrew Blockchain API yet. This page documents what to check during a suspected outage and where incident updates are posted.

Check liveness

The fastest way to confirm the API is reachable is a GET against the unauthenticated health endpoint:

curl https://api.piratecrew.fun/v2/health

{
  "data": {
    "status": "healthy",
    "service": "PirateCrew Blockchain API",
    "version": "v2"
  },
  "meta": {
    "request_id": "req_…",
    "timestamp": "2026-05-19T18:42:11.000Z"
  }
}

A non-200 response, or a connection failure, means the service itself is down. A 200 response means the HTTP layer is up — it does not prove that the upstream Solana RPC, Privy, Supabase, or Helius are healthy.

Layered failure modes

When something looks broken, walk the stack:

API process — GET /v2/health. Non-200 or timeout → API is down.
Authentication — A 401/403 on every request usually means a rotated or revoked key, not an outage. Generate a new key on developer.piratecrew.fun and retry.
Solana RPC — Symptoms include POST /v2/transactions returning blockhash errors, GET /v2/accounts/{address} 500ing, or transactions never confirming via GET /v2/transactions/{signature}. Cross-check at status.solana.com.
Helius — Asset reads (/v2/accounts/* with rich metadata, GET /v2/tokens/{mint}) degrade if Helius has an incident. The API will surface 502s in that case.
Jito — Bundle landings via POST /v2/transactions with bundle: true can fail independently of the main RPC. Fall back to a non-bundled submit if you don't need bundle atomicity.

Where incidents are announced

Until a hosted status page exists, real-time updates are posted in the PirateCrew Discord, in the #dev channel. Major incidents are pinned for the duration of the outage and resolved with a post-mortem note afterwards.

If you need to escalate an active incident — for example, a launch-day partner integration is blocked — ping in #dev with your API key prefix and a brief description. See Contact for other channels.

A hosted status page is on the roadmap. When it lands it'll be linked from this page.
