04/06/2026, 1:15 AMVapi does not provide a traditional REST API for system status, but you can programmatically monitor status updates using their RSS feed.
Here's a simple Python example using
feedparser Copy code
python
import feedparser
feed = feedparser.parse('https://status.vapi.ai/feed.rss')
latest = feed.entries[0]
print(f"Latest status: {latest.title}\nPublished: {latest.published}")s

Copy code
js
const { XMLParser } = require('fast-xml-parser');
async function checkVapiStatus() {
const res = await fetch('https://status.vapi.ai/feed.rss');
const xml = await res.text();
const parser = new XMLParser();
const result = parser.parse(xml);
const latest = result.rss.channel.item[0];
console.log(`Latest status: ${latest.title}`);
console.log(`Published: ${latest.pubDate}`);
}
checkVapiStatus();Shaunak

Yes, "Elevated" in the feed title is a reliable signal of an active issue.
Other keywords to watch for:
• Issues: Investigating, Identified, Degraded, Outage, Failure, Monitoring
• Resolved: Resolved, Postmortem
Quick code snippet:
Copy code
const ISSUE_KEYWORDS = ["investigating", "elevated", "degraded", "outage", "failure", "incident"];
const hasIssue = ISSUE_KEYWORDS.some(kw => latest.title.toLowerCase().includes(kw));
console.log(hasIssue ? "⚠️ Issues detected" : "✅ All clear");Chiranjeet Mishra
