Add API Status Check to API Monitoring section

[shibley]

Adds API Status Check to the API Monitoring section.

API Status Check is a free real-time status dashboard for 160+ third-party APIs including AI platforms (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Cohere), cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Cloudflare, Vercel), payment processors (Stripe, PayPal), and developer tools (GitHub, Slack, Twilio). It offers embeddable status badges that developers can add to their documentation and applications to show real-time API status.

This is a valuable addition for developers building applications that depend on third-party APIs, complementing the existing performance monitoring and privacy control tools in this section.

Dupe #125 #134

Whats the point of this?

[shibley]

Apologies for the duplicates — closed #125 and #134. This is the only active PR.

Hi! Just a friendly bump on this PR. API Status Check monitors the real-time status of 500+ APIs — a useful addition for developers building applications that depend on third-party services. Happy to adjust the description or placement if needed. Thanks for maintaining this great list!

Hi! Checking in again — API Status Check tracks real-time uptime for 500+ major APIs including Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, and AWS. It'd be a useful addition to the monitoring section alongside existing tools. Happy to adjust anything!

@guest20 was right, and I'm sorry it took this long to answer. This is a duplicate — I have four PRs on this repo for the same one-line entry (#125 and #134, both closed, plus this one and #196). That's my mistake and it reads as spam from the maintainer's side.

Consolidating on #196, which is the newest and cleanest. Closing this one.

I also had two contradictory numbers live in this repo at the same time — #136 said "160+ APIs" and #196 said "114+". Neither is right; I've corrected #196 against the live endpoint. Sorry for the noise.
