Steem is down quite frequently, I personally use @gtg's api instead of steem official api.

If you want to surf steem when it is down you can try https://steemitstage.com or https://staging.busy.org

    Is it because they're getting DDos'ed or possibly just slow deployments or something? Don't think it was a result of high user traffic.

    And thanks, I'll check those endpoints out.

    Someone try to spam the blockchain with empty json last week or 2 weeks ago, so the traffic is being DDOS, so it's true.
