GET
Get Service Status
Service Status returns the aggregate health of the Square Cloud platform, the same signal that powers the public status page and internal alerting. It’s a public route with no API key required, which makes it a good fit for automated uptime checks or a small status widget on your own site. The payload is served from a 5-minute cache, so it can lag a transient incident by up to that window and should not be treated as a live incident feed. If the cached value can’t be read, the endpoint still responds successfully with status: "unknown" instead of failing the request. For per-application health instead of the whole platform, see Get Application Status or Get All Applications Status.
This route has a 5-minute cache and does not reflect the real-time status of status.squarecloud.app.
