# Get Route Health

> Returns a per-route operational view of upstream health: which routes
are currently healthy, half-open (probing), or ejected (cooling
down), along with consecutive-failure counts and recent state
transitions. Useful for dashboards and incident triage.


Returns a per-route operational view of upstream health. Useful for dashboards,
alerting integrations, and incident triage.

## Route states

| State       | Meaning                                                                                                                       |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `healthy`   | The route is serving traffic normally.                                                                                        |
| `half_open` | The route was recently ejected; the gateway is letting a small probe of traffic through to test recovery.                     |
| `ejected`   | The route has been temporarily removed from the failover loop. New traffic will skip it until `eject_remaining_secs` elapses. |

`cooldown_reason` explains *why* a route is in cooldown:

* `rolling_failures` — too many upstream errors in the rolling window.
* `rate_limited` — the upstream returned 429s faster than the route's retry
  policy could absorb them.

## Recovery

Routes recover automatically as cooldown windows expire and probe traffic
succeeds. To force a route back to healthy immediately — for example after
an upstream incident is resolved — call
[`POST /admin/llm-gw/route-health/{provider_id}/reset`](/api-reference/llm-gateway/route-health/resetRouteHealth).


## OpenAPI

  title: Barndoor LLM Gateway API
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >
    REST API for the Barndoor LLM Gateway: configure providers, model routes,

    pricing, governance, and operate a multi-provider LLM platform
    programmatically.


    All endpoints in this document are scoped to your organization. They are the

    same APIs powering the Barndoor portal under **LLM Configuration**,

    **LLM Controls**, and **Settings - My Models**, exposed for teams that

    prefer scripting over the UI.


    ## Base URL


    All requests are issued against your Barndoor instance:


    ```

    https://app.barndoor.ai/api/llm-gateway

    ```


    Replace `app.barndoor.ai` with your tenant host if you run on Enterprise.


    ## Authentication


    Endpoints accept a JWT Bearer token issued by your Barndoor identity

    provider. Tokens can be obtained interactively via the Barndoor SDK:


    ```ts

    const sdk = await loginInteractive();

    ```


    The token must be sent in the `Authorization` header on every request:


    ```

    Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOi...

    ```


    Note: the `bd-...` API keys you create through these endpoints are for

    runtime LLM traffic (`/v1/chat/completions`, `/v1/messages`, etc.), not for

    administrative calls. Administrative endpoints require a user/admin JWT.


    ## Permissions


    Most endpoints require an `admin` (or higher) role on the calling user.

    Read-only endpoints are typically accessible by all authenticated users.

    Read-only listings under `/user/...` are scoped to the authenticated user.


    ## Errors


    Errors are returned as JSON with a stable shape:


    ```json

    { "error": "BadRequest", "message": "request_timeout_secs must be between 1
    and 3600" }

    ```
