Relay Health
by nostr.halowerk.com in Other
Every relay is measured twice over. Over WebSocket a genuine REQ query is sent and the connection time, the time to end of stored events and the number of events returned are recorded — a relay that accepts the connection and then stays silent is the failure mode a reachability ping cannot see.

Call it from code
The curl command shows the payment challenge. The JavaScript and Python versions pay and call, and never pay more than $0.003.
