PSP Status & Incident Monitor

PSP Status Monitor watches the public status pages of payment providers and returns one normalised status per provider, so you can schedule it and get alerted when a PSP has an outage or incident.

Best for: Payments operations and support teams, merchants running several PSPs, and engineers who want outage alerts in Slack or a webhook.

What does PSP Status & Incident Monitor do?

Polls the public status pages of payment providers and returns a normalised status per provider: overall indicator, degraded components, active incidents, scheduled maintenance. Schedule it every 5–15 min on Apify with onlyChanges=true and a webhookUrl (e.g. Slack) to get alerts when a PSP has an outage.

Built-in providers (tested working): Stripe, GoCardless, Square, Klarna, Worldpay, TrueLayer, SumUp, Plaid, Shopify, Wise. Adyen, Checkout.com, PayPal, Braintree, Mollie and Paddle need custom parsers (v0.2). You can also pass any Atlassian Statuspage base URL.

Only public status pages are read; no authentication, low request rate.

How to monitor payment provider outages

1. Pick providers in Providers (for example stripe, klarna, gocardless).
2. Turn on Only output changes since last run and add a Webhook URL for alerts.
3. Save it as a task and add an Apify schedule (for example every 10-15 minutes).

Pricing (pay-per-event)

• provider-checked: $0.001 per provider per run (a 10-provider check every 10 min ≈ $43/month).

Use it via API, schedules and integrations

Run it in Apify Console, or call it from your own code with the Apify API or the Python and JavaScript clients. Save an input as a task and add a schedule to run it regularly, and send results to Slack, email, webhooks, Zapier, Make or n8n with Apify integrations. AI agents can find and run it through the Apify MCP server.

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("sterlingverify/psp-status-monitor").call(run_input={"providers": ["stripe", "klarna", "gocardless"]})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
