Potential relevance

SerpApi is not in your stack. Follow it to see whether reports like this fall inside the regions you use.

What to check on your side

Verification steps only. Statuswall cannot see your systems.

  • Check API error rates and quota responses for calls to SerpApi.
  • Check error rates, latency and timeouts in your own monitoring for requests that depend on SerpApi.
  • Look at synthetic checks and alerts that exercise SerpApi.
  • Compare with recent deploys on your side, so a coincidental change is not blamed on the vendor.
  • Follow the vendor's official incident page for scope changes and resolution.

Timeline

Vendor times come from the vendor. “Seen by Statuswall” times are when Statuswall noticed a change, which can lag the vendor by a few minutes. Statuswall does not store the vendor's update text; read it on the official page.
