# Get health status
> Check whether Blnk Core is running and reachable with the Python SDK.

const {title, buttonLabel, href, trackingEvent, buttonTarget, rel = "noopener noreferrer", children} = props;

Use `blnk.system.health` to check whether Core is reachable.
```python blnk.system.health wrap theme={"system"}
response = blnk.system.health()
```
This method takes no arguments.
Check that `response.data["status"]` is `UP` before running other SDK calls in health checks or startup probes.
```json 200 OK wrap theme={"system"}
{
"status": "UP"
}
```
| Field | Type | Description |
| :------- | :---- | :--------------------------------------- |
| `status` | `str` | `UP` when Core is healthy and reachable. |
