Service Health Check
View all Redfin Property Data endpoints →Lightweight liveness probe. No parameters; a healthy service answers HTTP 200 with {"status": true, "message": "server is running"}. Gate expensive batch jobs behind this call and wire it into status pages so pipelines fail fast when the data surface degrades.

Use Cases
- Add a lightweight uptime probe to a status page that alerts when the pipeline degrades.
- Run a pre-flight health check in CI before executing a nightly bulk listing-import job.
- Gate expensive batch comp jobs behind a cheap ping to fail fast when the service is down.
- Smoke-test credentials and connectivity after deployment before opening traffic.
Frequently asked questions
What does the health check return?
When healthy, HTTP 200 with {"status": true, "message": "server is running"}; anything else counts as degraded.
How often is it reasonable to call?
Parameter-free with a tiny response — fine for minute-level monitoring; call once before batch jobs as a fast-fail gate.
