SLA

Service Level Agreement

Our commitment to reliability, availability, and transparency.

Uptime Target

99.9% monthly uptime across all API endpoints

This equates to no more than approximately 43 minutes of unplanned downtime per month. Uptime is measured as the percentage of time our API endpoints return successful responses (HTTP 2xx/4xx) versus server errors (HTTP 5xx) or timeouts.

Scheduled maintenance windows are excluded from the uptime calculation and will be announced at least 24 hours in advance where possible.

Response Time Targets

Category p50 p95
Lightweight endpoints
(validation, lookup, hashing, conversion)
< 100ms < 300ms
Network-dependent endpoints
(DNS, WHOIS, scraping, SEO audit)
< 500ms < 2s
Processing-heavy endpoints
(PDF merge, image processing)
< 1s < 5s

Response times are measured from our API gateway, excluding network latency between the client and our servers.

What's Covered

  • All 10 API toolkit endpoints (*.toolkitapi.io/v1/*)
  • API authentication and key validation
  • OpenAPI specification endpoints (/openapi.json)

Exclusions

The following are excluded from SLA calculations:

  • Scheduled maintenance (announced in advance)
  • Marketing/documentation websites (*.toolkitapi.io non-API pages)
  • Third-party service outages (RapidAPI platform, upstream DNS providers)
  • Errors caused by client-side issues (invalid API keys, malformed requests)
  • Force majeure events

Incident Response

Severity Description Response Target
Critical Complete API outage across multiple toolkits < 1 hour
High Single toolkit unavailable or severely degraded < 4 hours
Medium Individual endpoints returning errors or slow < 24 hours

Remedies

If we fall below 99.9% monthly uptime on a toolkit you're subscribed to, you may request a service credit by emailing [email protected] within 30 days of the incident. Credits are applied as follows:

Monthly Uptime Credit
99.0% – 99.9% 10% of monthly subscription
95.0% – 99.0% 25% of monthly subscription
Below 95.0% 50% of monthly subscription

Credits are capped at 50% of the affected month's subscription fee and are applied to future billing cycles.
