Browser extension

If you rely on GreyhoundAPI in production, our free Chrome extension keeps an eye on it for you. It lives in your toolbar, pings the server and reads the live status on an interval you choose, and raises a desktop notification the moment the results pipeline falls behind — so you hear about a problem before your users do.

Everything it shows comes from two endpoints you already have: GET /v1/status for pipeline freshness and per-region result delays, and GET /v1/ping for server reachability and latency. Your key is used only for the status call, and it never leaves your browser's own local storage.

What it surfaces

• A colour-coded toolbar badge — green when healthy, amber with a count when something is slow, red when the API is unreachable.
• Server ping latency and the age of the last successful sync.
• Per-region races awaiting results, with the 24-hour median and p95 result delay.
• A desktop alert when a new issue appears — once per issue, not on every check.

Tune it to your tolerance

Every threshold is adjustable and saved locally: how often it polls, how stale a sync may get before it warns, the awaiting-results ceiling and the maximum acceptable ping. Set them to match how sensitive you need the alerting to be.
