These are unverified reports from people using Associated Press (AP), counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Associated Press (AP) yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring Associated Press (AP) since November 2, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

How our checks compare with Associated Press (AP)'s stated SLA
At or above your target
Our checks of Associated Press (AP) failed for none over the 68h 45m since we started checking it on 2026-11-02, which is 100% uptime by our checks. A 99.9% target allows 4 minutes over that period.
Our checks show no gap in this period. That does not rule out one you saw.
These figures come from our own checks of one public endpoint per service. They are not the service's real uptime. This is computed from our own checks, not from Associated Press (AP)'s SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.
What we check
What our check can and cannot see
A pass means the service's public web page loaded and answered normally. It does not show that the product, the API or sign-in behind it works; a page can load from a cache while the product is down.
