Show HN: The Status Page Status Page

I like the idea of an aggregated status page.

How are you getting the 'Reported Status', are you scraping their status pages?

I tried to build something similar a while ago, but found that some companies (looking at you AWS) required a licence and authentication to get to their status APIs.

Do you have plans to add more services?

Exactly, it's just a very quick hack, and scraping and parsing is 'good enough'. Not pretty or long-term reliable, but it does the job.

Very happy to take suggestions for other services - any ideas? What other critical dev infrastructure goes down a lot?

Nothing against scraping at all, I think that's probably the only real way to do this until more companies have a (free) status API.. assuming scraping is within the ToS of course ;)

I had a few others on my list; Azure, Office 365, Stack Overflow.

You have the big ones already though I think.

You might be interested in a project of mine then: StatusGator is a status aggregator.
