Embed a live OpenAI Codex status badge

Free, no sign-up, no tracking. It updates itself.

Drop this into a README, a docs page, an internal dashboard — anywhere it helps to show at a glance whether Codex is up. It reads the same official status feed this site does, and it re-renders itself every minute.

Live right now — this is the real badge, not a picture of one.

Already using Shields?

There's a Shields endpoint too, so you can render it in whatever style your other badges use:

Options

• ?label=codex — change the left-hand text.
• States are operational, degraded, major outage and outage. If the feed can't be reached the badge says unknown rather than lying about it.
• Cached for 60 seconds, so it stays current during an incident without hammering anyone's servers.
