# Ping

Ping is a health check endpoint.
It verifies the service is currently reachable.
This also checks that an API token is still valid.
This is a simple endpoint call.
It takes no parameters and returns no response body.
A successful call returns only a 200 OK.
That minimalism is intentional.
It is typically hit frequently and automatically rather than as part of real business logic.
This endpoint is useful as:
* an application startup check when an integration boots.
* a periodic keep-alive in a monitoring dashboard,
* a quick manual test after rotating an API key.

It shares the same error-handling shape as every other endpoint, such as response codes for 400, 401, 403, 429, or 500.
These error response codes are diagnostically useful, too.
For example, a response code of 401 indicates the API token is bad or expired.
