What UpButler measured

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

2026-07-130 of 1 days with an incidenttoday

Each bar is a day, coloured by the worst incident hCaptcha reported. It is their incident record, not a measurement of uptime.

No finished incidents on record yet since 2026-10-10. UpButler keeps what hCaptcha publishes for 90 days from the day it starts tracking a service.

Get alerted when hCaptcha goes down

No account. One email when hCaptcha reports an incident, one when it is over. You confirm the address first, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe.

Or follow the RSS feed. On UpButler? Add hCaptcha as a dependency to route it to Slack, Teams or a webhook.

Status badge

Show hCaptcha's current status in a README or an internal wiki. It updates by itself.

Tell your outage from hCaptcha's

Declare that your project depends on hCaptcha. When one of your monitors fails while hCaptcha 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.

Questions

Is hCaptcha down right now?
No. As of 2026-10-10 07:17 UTC, hCaptcha is up. This page reads the status again every 3 minutes.
Where does this status come from?
From hCaptcha's own status page API at https://www.hcaptchastatus.com. UpButler reads it once for everyone (not once per visitor) every 3 minutes with conditional requests, and shows it unchanged: incident titles and component names are hCaptcha's words.
Can I get an alert when hCaptcha goes down?
Yes, without an account: enter your email on this page, confirm the link we send, and you get one email when hCaptcha reports an incident and one when it is over. There is also an RSS feed at https://upbutler.com/status/hcaptcha/feed.rss. Teams on UpButler can route the same alert to Slack, Teams or a webhook.
How can my agent or app check hCaptcha status?
Fetch https://upbutler.com/status/hcaptcha/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":"hcaptcha"}, on https://upbutler.com/mcp/public.
How do I know whether an outage is mine or hCaptcha's?
Add "hcaptcha" to the dependencies of your UpButler workspace. When one of your monitors fails while hCaptcha 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.

UpButler is not affiliated with hCaptcha. Status and incident text belong to hCaptcha and are read from their public status source; the probe result is UpButler's own measurement.
