Overview

/health is a lightweight liveness probe. It returns HTTP 200 as long as the server process is alive, with no other checks performed.

Use this endpoint to:

• Verify the API server is up
• Configure liveness probes in Kubernetes or other container orchestration systems
• Check if a specific worker/instance is running

No API key is required.

Example request

curl https://api.prefetch.io/health

Example response

{
  "status": "ok"
}

Liveness vs readiness

Endpoint	Checks	Use case
/health	Server process is alive	Liveness probe — restart if this fails
/ready	Server + Redis connectivity	Readiness probe — remove from load balancer if this fails

For production deployments, configure both /health (liveness) and /ready (readiness) probes so your orchestration system can make informed routing decisions.

Response

200 - application/json
