API's working again.
Good to hear.
Was a bit odd that the ticket was closed without response, not even a first level "we've passed it on to our specialists" reply.

fetch some data from cryptsy's public api and have a look at the "lasttradetime".
last update: 2015-12-04...
I have checked a few markets so far. It's all down...
e.g.: Market 2 (BTC/USD):

The URL is: http://pubapi2.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=singlemarketdata&marketid=2

Just a warning that the Cryptsy public API is completely broken; it is returning the exact same stale data each time. If you're using software which fetches order book and market data using this API, you're gonna have a bad time. It was because of a loss that I incurred that I noticed the problem.
I have personally observed the same data returned from http://pubapi2.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=orderdata (MD5 ea6f1a947a1bb124e11044198c809447) for about 36 hours, but I expect that the data is from at least a few days ago, possibly even more than a week (this is meant to be a live API!)
From a Linux/BSD commandline the following will fetch the data and report the MD5. Try it yourself:
My ticket reporting this issue was open for a couple of days, then it was quietly closed without any response. You can draw your own conclusions from that.
