# GET /health — API Health Check

> GET /health — Returns the API service status and process uptime in seconds. Use this endpoint to verify ArcPass API availability before integrating.

Use this endpoint to verify that the ArcPass API is running and responsive. It returns the service status and how long the API process has been running. No authentication or parameters are required.

## Request

**`GET /health`**

This endpoint takes no path parameters, query parameters, or request body.

## Response

<ResponseField name="status" type="string" required>
  Current service status. Returns `"ok"` when the API is healthy and accepting requests.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="uptime" type="integer" required>
  Number of seconds the API process has been running since its last restart, rounded down to the nearest whole second.
</ResponseField>

## Use cases

* **Monitoring and alerting** — poll this endpoint from your uptime monitor to detect outages.
* **Pre-flight checks** — call `/health` before starting an integration test run to confirm the API is reachable.
* **Load balancer probes** — configure your infrastructure to use this route as a health probe target.
