# Health

Health Check is a method to verify the availability and operational status of the TEOS API. It confirms whether the API is online and responsive, and can also validate the provided API key or authorization token.

This endpoint performs no business logic and returns an empty successful response if the service is healthy. It is commonly used for automated monitoring, pre-flight connectivity checks, or credential validation before sending other API requests.
