Health & Readiness

Reference for the public /health and /ready endpoints, including expected responses, readiness semantics, and how to use them in uptime checks.

Health Check

GET /health

Authentication: Public (no API key required)

Returns the service liveness status:

curl https://api.vat-engine.app/health
{
  "status": "ok"
}

Readiness Check

GET /ready

Authentication: Public (no API key required)

Returns whether the service is ready to accept traffic:

curl https://api.vat-engine.app/ready
{
  "status": "ready"
}

A non-200 response from /ready indicates that the service is not ready to handle requests. Retry after a short delay and alert your support contact if the condition persists.
