Azure DevOps Health

Resource health helps you diagnose and get support when an Azure issue impacts your resources

Continuous IntegrationAuth: API KeyHTTPS: NoCORS: noStatus: alive

Last verified: April 1, 2026

Getting Started

This API requires an API key for authentication. Here's how to get started:

  1. Sign up — Visit the API's website and create a free account.
  2. Get your key — After signing up, you'll receive a unique API key (usually found in your dashboard or account settings).
  3. Include it in requests — Add your API key to each request, typically as a query parameter (?api_key=YOUR_KEY) or in the request header (Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY). Check the API's documentation for the exact format.

API keys are free for most public APIs. They're used to identify your application and enforce rate limits — not to charge you.

CORS Support

This API does not support CORS, so you'll need to call it from a server-side application or use a proxy. Direct browser requests will be blocked by the browser's same-origin policy.

Quick Example

// Using cURL curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resourcehealth
// Using JavaScript fetch() const response = await fetch(apiUrl, { headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' } }); const data = await response.json();

About Azure DevOps Health

Azure DevOps Health is a free API in the Continuous Integration category. It requires a free API key, which you can obtain by signing up on their website. This API does not require HTTPS and does not support CORS — you will need to call it from a server-side application.

What You Can Build With Azure DevOps Health

Azure DevOps Health fits naturally into projects that touch the Continuous Integration space. Here are a few directions developers commonly take when working with APIs in this category — any of them could be a fit depending on the specific endpoints Azure DevOps Health exposes:

  • Build status dashboards — pull data from Azure DevOps Health, transform it into a UI-friendly shape, and surface it to users in a dashboard, mobile app, or browser extension.
  • Automated deployment triggers — pull data from Azure DevOps Health, transform it into a UI-friendly shape, and surface it to users in a dashboard, mobile app, or browser extension.
  • Test result aggregation — pull data from Azure DevOps Health, transform it into a UI-friendly shape, and surface it to users in a dashboard, mobile app, or browser extension.
  • DevOps workflow automation — pull data from Azure DevOps Health, transform it into a UI-friendly shape, and surface it to users in a dashboard, mobile app, or browser extension.

If a specific use case isn't listed, scroll back to the code examples above and adapt the request shape to match the endpoint you need. Most Continuous Integration APIs follow similar request/response patterns, so the snippet that works for one endpoint usually works for the rest with small tweaks.

Integrating Azure DevOps Health Step by Step

1. Skim the documentation first. Open the link above and look for two things: the base URL pattern and a list of available endpoints. Knowing both up front saves you from guessing parameter names or formats. Most providers also publish example responses next to each endpoint — copy one into your editor as a reference for the JSON shape your code will be parsing.

2. Get an API key. Azure DevOps Health uses API key authentication. Sign up on the provider's site, look for a developer dashboard or API section in your account settings, and copy your key somewhere safe. Treat it like a password — don't paste it into a public repo or a client-side bundle that ships to a browser. Read our API security guide if you're unsure how to keep keys out of source control.

3. Make a request from the command line. Before wiring an API into your application, send a single request with curl or your HTTP client of choice. Confirm that the response shape matches what the docs promised. If it doesn't, your application code would have hit the same surprise — better to find out now while you only have one terminal window to debug.

4. Wire it into your code. Once a manual request works, copy that request into your application as a function. Add error handling: APIs return 4xx and 5xx codes for client and server errors respectively, and your code needs to behave reasonably when one comes back. Our error-handling guide covers the patterns that make this less painful.

5. Don't call it directly from the browser. Azure DevOps Health doesn't support CORS, so a browser-side fetch() will be blocked by the same-origin policy. Call it from your backend instead and forward the result to the frontend. If you don't have a backend, a serverless function (Cloudflare Workers, Netlify Functions, Vercel) is a quick way to add one.

Heads up: HTTPS. Azure DevOps Health is listed as not requiring HTTPS, which is unusual for modern APIs. If your application runs on an HTTPS-served page, browsers will block plaintext requests as mixed content. Either run your code from a non-HTTPS host (locally is fine) or look for an HTTPS variant of the same API in our directory.

Common Issues and How to Fix Them

  • "401 Unauthorized" or "403 Forbidden": the most common cause is a missing or incorrectly placed API key. Check whether Azure DevOps Health expects the key as a query string parameter, an Authorization header, or a custom header — every provider does it slightly differently. The official docs will say which.
  • The key works in curl but not in your app: almost always a header-encoding bug. Print the exact request your client sends and compare it to your working curl command. Look for missing quotes, extra spaces, or a header name typo.
  • "Access-Control-Allow-Origin" error: expected — Azure DevOps Health doesn't expose CORS headers, so direct browser requests will fail. Move the call to a backend or proxy. A short Cloudflare Worker or Netlify Function does the job in a dozen lines of code.
  • Rate limiting (429 Too Many Requests): if you start seeing 429s, you've crossed the API's per-minute or per-day quota. Add exponential backoff with retries, cache responses where possible, and consider whether a paid tier or alternative API is warranted. Our rate limit guide covers this in depth.
  • Inconsistent response shape: if Azure DevOps Health's response sometimes includes a field and sometimes doesn't, that's normal — APIs often omit null values. Defensive code that checks for property existence before reading it survives schema changes far better than code that assumes everything is always present.

Azure DevOps Health in the Continuous Integration Ecosystem

CI/CD APIs let you interact with build pipelines, deployment services, and testing platforms. Automate your development workflow and monitor builds programmatically.

Azure DevOps Health is one of dozens of free Continuous Integration APIs we've catalogued. Some are nearly interchangeable; others have distinct strengths and weaknesses that only become clear when you read their docs side-by-side. If Azure DevOps Health doesn't quite fit your project, the Continuous Integration category page lists every alternative we know about, with auth and CORS columns so you can compare at a glance.

When evaluating Continuous Integration APIs, the criteria that matter most are typically: rate limits on the free tier, freshness of the underlying data, regional coverage (does it work for your users' geography?), and how active the provider's maintenance schedule is. APIs that haven't been updated in years tend to drift out of sync with the underlying data sources, even if they technically still respond.
