# 60SecMonitor Status API – Single Vendor Lookup

> 60SecMonitor Status API – Single Vendor Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.isitdownapi.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

Returns real-time operational status, active incidents, and freshness metadata for a single vendor by name, slug, or domain.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://api.isitdownapi.com/v1/status?utm_source=zero.xyz
- Price: $0.01/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-10-11
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/60secmonitor-status-api-single-vendor-lookup-d150659f
- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_Fd5e8fGwFZfvyy5yelZ30

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability 60secmonitor-status-api-single-vendor-lookup-d150659f
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether Stripe is currently up or experiencing any outages? I need to know if there are active incidents and when it was last checked.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the real-time status of a single specific third-party vendor and want structured, machine-readable output including active incidents, confidence scores, and freshness metadata. Prefer this over manual status page scraping when you need programmatic access, or when you want AI-drafted incident hypotheses. Use the batch sibling endpoint when checking more than one vendor at once.

## Known failure modes

- Vendor not found in 60SecMonitor database — returns no match or low-quality match
- Stale data if the vendor was not recently re-checked (stale: true in response)
- Ambiguous vendor name resolving to wrong vendor (fuzzy match instead of exact)
- API returns cached data (from_cache: true) which may not reflect the very latest status
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 micropayment

## How this service works

Real-time vendor outage monitoring with AI-drafted incident hypotheses, multi-region synthetics, and public accuracy reporting.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the vendor's current operational status (e.g. 'operational', 'degraded', 'outage'), a list of active incidents, an AI-drafted incident summary, a confidence score (0–1), match quality (exact/fuzzy), timestamps for when the status was last checked and fetched, a staleness flag, the vendor's official status page URL, category, and a link to the 60SecMonitor source page.
