Betfair Down / Betfair site crash

[Derek27]

Not sure how DownDetector works but Saturday's fiasco wasn't recorded on it!

They're recording whether the website is reachable. It doesn't iirc read whether it's the normal/ideal page reached. In other words, it doesn't count as down with them so long as the outage page, with a view of which products are running and which are down, is reachable.

That makes sense, it will be blissfully unaware of the API.
