How to integrate the Bubble Status API to show warning messages in your application

Tips
1

Bubble has a status page @ https://status.bubble.io/.

Sometimes, in your app, you might want to show an alert saying ‘hey, we’re experiencing issues’ when Bubble reports issues. You also don’t want to manually do this each time.

Short answer:
curl --location 'https://status.bubble.io/api/v2/status.json'

Import that into your API connector. Or:

GET https://status.bubble.io/api/v2/status.json

This returns:

{
    "page": {
        "id": "nhymlp3mgbrt",
        "name": "Bubble",
        "url": "https://status.bubble.io",
        "time_zone": "America/New_York",
        "updated_at": "2025-04-01T05:41:23.829-04:00"
    },
    "status": {
        "indicator": "none",
        "description": "All Systems Operational"
    }
}

Set the type to ‘used as data’.

On your page, perhaps in the sidebar, you can have a group that shows a message when there’s Bubble issues. You configure this using a condition. Make this element visible only when Get data from external API → Bubble Status API’s status indicator is not ‘none’ (i.e, when it’s not all good).

Hope this helps.
