# Health check endpoint

`GET /health`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://hindsight.vectorize.io` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://hindsight.vectorize.io/health`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/vectorize/apis/hindsight-http-api/docs/health/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Readiness check: verifies the API can reach the database. Alias of /health/ready. Use /health/live for liveness probes — this one fails whenever the database is unreachable, which must gate traffic, not restart the process.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- unknown
