About Shodan

Shodan is an American web search engine for devices connected to the internet. It was launched in 2009, was founded by John Matherly, and is based in the United States. Its official website is shodan.io.
Shodan is a search engine for internet-connected devices. It indexes servers, routers, cameras, and other hardware that answer on the public internet. When the site or its API has trouble, queries may fail or return incomplete results. This page collects current status details, common problems, and what you can check before assuming the service is at fault.
Shodan is an American search engine that scans the internet and catalogs the devices it finds. Security researchers, network admins, and developers use it to look up exposed services, open ports, and device banners. Access happens through the website, an API, and developer tools built on top of both. Problems usually show up as slow searches, failed API requests, or missing results for certain filters. Heavy scanning periods can strain the backend, and API rate limits can look like an outage if you are not expecting them. Account and billing issues can also block access even when the service itself is healthy. On your side, start with your API key if you use the API. An expired or mistyped key produces errors that resemble downtime. Check your plan's rate limits, confirm your network allows outbound connections to shodan.io, and try a simple query in a private browser window to rule out extensions or cached sessions.
