About Kimi API

AIWatch Data: Kimi API's reported uptime is 99.98%. Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, it has maintained a clean record with zero incidents.

Kimi API is the developer platform from Moonshot AI, a Chinese AI lab, at platform.kimi.com. It serves the Kimi models and is compatible with the OpenAI and Anthropic API formats.

AIWatch Insight: The Moonshot status page covers both the Kimi API and the Kimi app. This page tracks the API components only; the Kimi app has its own page.

When the Kimi API is down, applications calling Moonshot's models through the API will fail.

This page provides real-time status and recent incident details; uptime history is shown only when the official source publishes sufficient comparable records — updated every 5 minutes by AIWatch.
