Use this endpoint to verify that the Harmstack API is up and accepting requests. No authentication is required, making it a safe first call to confirm connectivity before sending authenticated requests.

```
GET https://api.harmstack.com/v0/health
```

## Request

No parameters or headers required.

```bash theme={null}
curl https://api.harmstack.com/v0/health
```

## Response

Returns `200 OK` with a JSON body confirming the service status.

<ResponseField name="status" type="string" required>
  The health status of the API. Always `"ok"` when the service is running normally.
</ResponseField>

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "ok"
}
```

<Tip>
  Call this endpoint before your first authenticated request to confirm that the
  API is reachable from your environment.
