# Tempest freshness, coverage and market state (free)

`GET https://api.skylit.ai/v1/vol/status`

API: Heatseeker.

When Tempest last computed (`asOf`), the session it belongs to
(`sessionDate`), whether it is serving the frozen close state
(`frozen`: outside regular hours nothing is recomputed, because
after-hours option quotes are too wide to read), the market state now,
how many symbols are published and coverage counts. Free.
