How can my agent or app check eBay Developers status?

Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/ebay/status.agent.json: a small JSON document with a verdict (proceed, retry, fallback or pause) and retryAfterSec. No key is needed. The same answer is an MCP tool, upstream_status {"service":"ebay"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.

How do I know whether an outage is mine or eBay Developers's?

Add "ebay" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while eBay Developers has an incident that began around the same time, your incident is tagged "likely upstream" with their incident linked, and your on-call agent is told not to change code.

What eBay Developers says

developer.ebay.com has no public JSON API or feed we may read, and there is no keyless endpoint that says anything useful.

Their site: developer.ebay.com

What UpButler measured

There is no keyless endpoint of eBay Developers that says anything useful, so UpButler does not probe it. To check your own eBay Developers account, add a monitor with your key: it is yours alone and catches what a shared probe cannot.

eBay Developers incidents, last 90 days

Without a machine-readable source there is no incident history to show. eBay Developers keeps its own at developer.ebay.com.

Get alerted when eBay Developers goes down

eBay Developers publishes no incidents we can read, so there is nothing to send an alert about. If you depend on it, monitor your own use of it: add a monitor with your key or URL.

Tell your outage from eBay Developers's

Declare that your project depends on eBay Developers. When one of your monitors fails while eBay Developers has an incident that began around the same time, UpButler tags your incident "likely upstream" with their incident linked, says so in the alert and the AI report, and tells your on-call agent not to change code.

npx upbutler init finds the dependency from your env var names and packages. The catalog, dependencies and upstream-aware incidents are on every plan, including Free.
