# System health check

`GET /health`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.scalelist.com`
- URL: `https://api.scalelist.com/health`
- Auth: API key in header `x-api-key`

Returns `ok` while everything the API depends on is reachable, and

monitors and status pages.

No API key needed, and it never costs credits.
