Hi! I was using the anthropic api for my agent. I was getting this `529` error, which I saw was an `Overloaded Error` in the site https://docs.anthropic.com/en/api/errors. However, I saw there is a site which shows the anthropic services status https://status.anthropic.com/.
I was wondering if there is any way to know if the API service is working or not, is there any way to ping it to know the status, or is there any other way? I want to know if any API services are working or not (which are mentioned on that site), before actually sending the request to the LLM.
Is there a workaround or a way to achieve this kind of behaviour? I am thinking one way is to send a dummy request to LLM to see the request error. But is there any way besides this?
