At this snapshot, 8 of the 9 providers on our status board reported fully operational. Here is where OpenAI stood, and how to get the same answer from its status API without a browser.

The 34 components OpenAI reports status for

When OpenAI says "operational", this is the granularity behind the claim — the component list its own status feed publishes, fetched 2026-08-31. All were reported operational at snapshot time. If an incident hits, these are the names its status page will scope it to.

Polling OpenAI's status programmatically

Atlassian Statuspage v2. GET /api/v2/status.json returns status.indicator (none | minor | major | critical) and a human description; GET /api/v2/components.json returns per-component state.

curl -s https://status.openai.com/api/v2/status.json

Everything above was verified against the live endpoint on 2026-08-31 — nothing is inferred from platform defaults. If the endpoint moved, tell us.
