Awesome Nostr Relays

A curated catalogue of Nostr relays from around the world, organised into discovery collections and continuously health-checked.

CI Health Check Pages Relays healthy

Endpoints

Published to GitHub Pages with Content-Type: application/json, permissive CORS, and no rate limit. Prefer these over raw.githubusercontent.com/..., which throttles unauthenticated clients to 60 req/hour.

curl -sL https://relays.meowl.social/urls.json         # flat URL list
curl -sL https://relays.meowl.social/relays.json       # full dataset + health
curl -sL https://relays.meowl.social/collections.json  # grouped by collection id
curl -sL https://relays.meowl.social/nip66.json        # NIP-66 kind 30166 discovery events

curl -sL https://relays.meowl.social/schema/relay.schema.json  # JSON Schema for an entry

The catalog is schema_version: 2, with field semantics aligned to NIP-66. Entry shape in relays.json (the health block appears once a relay has been probed):

{
  "url": "wss://relay.damus.io/",
  "name": "Damus",
  "operator": "Damus Team",
  "country": "US",
  "network": "clearnet",                  // NIP-66 `n`: clearnet | tor | i2p | loki
  "software": "strfry",
  "requirements": { "payment": false },   // NIP-66 `R`: auth | payment | pow | writes
  "collections": ["featured", "global", "regional-americas"],
  "topics": ["popular", "ios"],           // NIP-66 `t`
  "health": {
    // healthy | flaky | warn | dead | stale | blocked | skipped | unknown
    "state": "healthy",
    "last_checked": "2026-06-06T03:00:00Z",
    "last_success": "2026-06-06T03:00:00Z",
    "consecutive_failures": 0,
    "last_outcome": "success",
    "rtt_open_ms": 234,                    // NIP-66 `rtt-open`
    "supported_nips": [1, 11, 42, 50]
  }
}

relays.json also carries top-level monitor (probe cadence + checks, NIP-66 kind 10166) and summary (relay counts per health state).

Data layout: main holds only the curated source (relays.toml), the Rust workspace, and the web/ shell. The health snapshot and generated api/ artefacts are published to the orphan data branch by CI and served by GitHub Pages, keeping the source history free of high-frequency machine commits.
